RE: Haley and Harry Connick Jr...
I think there are a few (probably more than that actually) types of Jazz fans. My good friend who was a Jazz major in college, who I expected to drool over Haley when I showed her GBTC with Irvin Mayfield, didn't like it at all. She didn't like the way Haley sang "child" and how it progressively got more "distorted" until the end of the song- she said it made her crazy, along with the growling during the song, basically all of the extra touches Haley adds that I adore. She did say the scatting at the end was "ok" lol, but overall didn't like it, she said Haley added way too many tricks for it to be enjoyable. That is what I think Harry would say. I really like it when Jazz gets dirty with those extras that bring surprise to an old song.
Edit to add: we don't discuss Haley anymore so that we can save our friendship. I almost blew a gasket when she didn't like her AT ALL. She was, however, my only friend who "liked" I Hear You Knockin' by Fats that I posted on my wall from last week.
