Dion, your comment warms my heart. I was only 12 when the sixties ended, but I was a hippie at heart by then. My parents were born in Chicago in the late 20s and spent much time in jazz clubs in their youth. So, your response to Carsie’s music has deep roots!

I had a blast working with her filming the ‘Backbone’ video, and I hope to collaborate with her again on more creative projects. Keep it up Carsie! 🙂

Derek, I listened. It’s the same as Backbone. But just because it’s not jazz, does it mean it’s not good. It’s well done too.

Jazz music to non-jazz fans is a hard sell. You want to know why? Because what gets labeled as jazz, with screeching sax solos and all, usually has very little to do with jazz. And she IS right. Probably 95-99% of what either gets labeled as jazz (or is just done poorly) is bad.

Jazz really is a true American art form. It’s sad that the average American has lost the connection to real, toe-tapping, spiritually uplifting, Jazz.
