Weather Report was disrespected because they played electric guitars and synthesizers, she adds. He does a Publix commercial every now and then. She sings Mathis' standard Misty as he would, a love ballad. Then she sings it faster and jazzier. That's just my spin on it.
Jazz is improvisation and feeling.
You can take any song and make it a jazz song. Jazz is a learning experience. A former lab technician for the state, Womack now enjoys imparting her learning experience to African-American students. I'm very happy to see more African Americans in this class. Jazz music was born of African-American people, and they've just given it away.
