Haven't heard the album but we caught her show in Florida last October. A very moving and powerful singer. I expect good things from her in the future. :tup

The look so does NOT work for me,

Damn, Jim, that's shallow. :tdown

Well, yeah.

But she's on Verve, and I know that somebody's doing "image construction" on her, so consider it consumer feedback. The whole "Carnaby St. Lesbian" look does not make me want to listen to her music.

Besides, what's up with the extra "z" in "Lizz"? WAY too damn "cute" for me. I HATE cute!

Live by the image, die by the image. Them's the facts of life.

FWIW, she seemed attractive, sweet, down-home, and ladylike in person.

Well, there you go. That don't sell records (or so the label mavens seem to think...). This "image" crap can backfire amongst the core jazz listening audience. That look leads me to expect something along the lines of Me'Shell NdegéOcello or some such, which is cool, but...

I'll check her out sometimes.

Actually, I've always been rather fond of that look. ;)

Anyway, she looks plenty attractive to my eyes.

More to the point, "Salt" was among the 20 best jazz albums of 2003, according to our local public radio jazz station programmers.
