Krystle Warren: Look At Her Working
I'm kicking myself. I really should have found a way to get to Krystle Warren's show at the Record Bar last weekend. Word on the street is that she's transformed herself into an innovative jazz-inflected artist. The former Kansas City resident failed to impress me the last time I saw her perform. She was doing a folk-oriented thing that I just couldn't appreciate. This recent cover of "Eleanor Rigby" was mentioned in a recent Starprofile. It's fantastic. Is it jazz? Not exactly. And I don't care.
All the preening "look at me! look at me!" vocalists, where do they all come from? I don't know, but I wish they'd go back to singing in front of the mirror.
I'm obviously just overlooking it, but I don't see a link to your jazz calendar? How/where does one view it?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thanks for asking, Anon.
ReplyDeleteIt's listed as "Plastic Sax Event Calendar" in the "Local Clubs and Institutions" column.
I really need to link to Jardine's and to the Blue Room at that site; I'm a slacker...
Got it...thanks.
ReplyDeleteMan, I would have never found that...I think you should put it at the top of the site, loud & proud, for all the hard work you do on this thing.
It's a great reference that I think could easily be overlooked.
Just my opinion...and you know what they say about opinions...
Thanks!

ReplyDeleteAnon, 9:31- Thanks for checking in. I disagree with you in this case, but you made me laugh.
