Your comments combined with Allen's sound disturbingly similar to John Tynan's comments about Coltrane and Dolphy. Defend the perceived fortress! I have no idea what the "perceived fortress" is. I love Coltrane & Dolphy together, separately, whatever. Are you saying I called Norah Jones the "anti-jazz"? Sorry I disturbed you, but you seem a little obsessed with this issue. If you like woman singers of the non-jazz ilk, spend a little time with Karen Berquist of Over The Rhine. There - I got snobby again.
