Fran, I'd love to give you an HONEST assessment of her playing but I know it would just upset you and make you lash back. Let's just say that as a jazz singer and ESPECIALLY as a jazz pianist, I was NOT impressed. Some examples: exagerated syncopation (that loses the groove and almost the beat/time); cliched 'licks', and maybe the worst 'comping' I've heard in a pro group (too loud, very amateurish, and no indication that she's listening to the EXCELLENT guitarist during his solo ('I'm old fashioned'). Of course this is just MY assessment; no one has to agree with it. It's just that there are SOOOooo many really good jazz singer/stylist and jazz pianist that are so much better. JMO.
