I ripped this from the punk forum (don't ask, I don't know either) but does anyone else think Peyroux is trying a little to hard to be what used to be? I mean, nothing changes from her to holiday and I think its a decline in the state of jazz. For an art form the improvises and moves forward this is a conservative cling-on to with we had the 30's back.

are you dyslexic? or just type really fast? because i was struggling to understand that last part.....and i mean that in the nicest possible way....
and i have no idea who this woman is, then again, i think Norah Jones is just plum boring, and generally speaking, jazz is not my thing....
