I did not mean to offend, and to the extent I did, I apologize.

My own kids had enviable musical educations and while I was enthusiastic, I never lost my perspective.
My daughter sang well--FOR A KID!
Her musical training was in the Anglican tradition, so, guess what? No matter what she sang, it all sounded like a little pre-pubescent English boy, singing in a Cathedral.
I played her audition recording of Canteloube's "La Delaissado" for a record-producer friend, and we both cracked up at the cognitive dissonance of a ballad of lost love in the Auvergnat dialect coming out sounding like a pre-pubescent English boy singing A Ceremony of Carols.
Young Joey demonstrated the upside and the downside of being child prodigy.
I would not have been so grumpy if he had done what he did to "I've Got Rhythm." That kind of over-arranged non-stop embellishment is OK with me on "I've Got Rhythm." Bring it on, Joey! Embellish your embellishments!
But there should be a "Golden Fence" around the sheet music of "Lush Life."
IMHO.

suppose so. Can't help but admire a youngster who would take on such a challenge. Should he have chosen Malaguena?
