I think the point you make about standard Jazz introductions isn't entirely relevant however, as I am simply giving my opinion on what I am hearing, whether it is traditional and true to the genre or not. Also every journalist comes at a CD from a different angle, and with different writing styles, skill sets, and knowledge....the same goes for readers...so where some of his fans for example find the point of view of a pop fan interesting, other readers like you look for something different. It's natural and not to be slated. So a review is not necessarily going to be a run down of all the songs and their backgrounds, or an indepth analysis of musical arrangements. I had a press release and track by track rundown to refer to, and in that Jamie speaks of how he experiments with ways or recording and musical arrangements, but I appreciate some things can be taken in a different way. I have tried to be honest and fair, whether people agree with that or not is all part and parcel of the business we call music.
