RE: Haley Reinhart Roundhouse Jazz Band - July 2010
Swansteel, I too, love "The Way You Look Tonight." It's a wonderful song. It's just that I don't expect people Haley's age to know it. (Confession: I grew up listening to what my mother liked. I know the music of her generation far, far better than I know the music of my own.)
But, thankfully -- because of Haley's parents, Haley seems to know it all and has taken it in, absorbed it, and knows how to re-tool it in terrific ways that one would not expect from someone her age. I'm as much in awe of Harry and Patti (and their parenting skills) as I am of Haley!
Tom22, thanks for the videos you posted. Both kids show a lot of potential in addition to need for growth -- particularly in the concept of finishing a note, rather than just stopping (specifically the boy). Particularly for the girl, I hope the music world isn't as sexist as it was not too long ago.
