(Google Jessica Simpson, Tim.) Doesn't look like you need to read any more interviews with me, Vicki. And I'm not looking back now, but I don't think it was Roger who first used that word, so I'm not picking on him only. Yeh 'think it was me ..Ta Tim  How about all 10 saxophone finalists at Wang interviewed by Eugene Ball? It would of course be after a lengthy analysis of each finalists' audition CD and an in depth study of at least one if not 5 solos - if this one is a bit too 'in Melbourne' Mark, check out Eug's Myspace... |

Sorry I missed your Melbourne gig. I had a gig playing for wannabe gangstas. Typical bloody Melbourne hey, off doing gigs instead of going to them. What, Carlton supporters? |

Your loss. It was grouse. No need to get too technical in your review. (And it was!) |

Mark, this is taken from Bennetts site:
"Yvette Johansson Quintet
Young vocalist Yvette Johannson is a popular and respected figure on the Melbourne scene. Tonight she presents her new quintet featuring Chris Summerville on piano.
Her weekend performances at Bennetts Lane are a platform for her more intimate and spontaneous expressions of her tribute shows: Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, display a mastery of mimicry mixed with amusing research.
Tonight however she presents a new project of music with her quintet lead by pianist Chris Summerville with Dean Ford on guitar. She and her band explore popular songs including Stevie Wonder and songs from the 80's and 90's. As an award winning jazz vocalist her renditions of contemporary tunes are marked by a mature and skilled musical vision which reawakens the spirit of the composition and takes it to new places."
She has a large following and I think Michael Tortoni still plays bass with her. She does Ella tribute nights, not that there's anything wrong with that.

That's really interesting Vicki and helps give me a picture. But it doesn't really tell me why you single her out as a good candidate to interview Tim and/or me. I still think there is an in joke I am not in on...  |

Mark,
Here's what the Melbourne International Jazz Festival 2007 said about Yvette, though that won't necessarily help solve your puzzle:
Young vocalist Yvette Johansson, inspired by Barbara Streisand, Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald, is Melbourne's most exciting and versatile young performer. Yvette has been wowing local and international audiences with her dynamic style and vocal excellence for many years. Yvette's career highlights include meeting and singing with Al Jarreau and performing with Lou Soloff (principle trumpet with Barbara Streisand Orchestra) at the Bennetts Lane ‘Jazz Lab'.
I was mainly interested in the Streisand Orchestra having a "principle trumpet". I wonder what that makes San Diego's finest, Scott Tinkler? A trumpeter without principle?
btw, it was unfair to quote you out of context.

it is mainly that the Yvette and Tim have a chasm between them in terms of style and approach.

Am I sure that there's nothing wrong with Ella tributes (well actually I'm not sure - but each to their own) or that Michael played bass with her regularly - of that I am most sure having witnessed it on a few occasions. |
