[Dixielandjazz] Jazz singers

[Dixiejazzdata]

 Since I found that Pat Boone tune and started this , it is only fair that I
submit the rest of the project which will clearly show that Pat Boone definitely is not a Jazz Singer
although this was a very adventurous project for him to undertake.   I guess he is trying to be all things to all 
audiences, or has just lost his mind :))


Pat Boone sings for the OKOM  & Rocker Disco & Soul   Set
He does it all .    Holiday Inn Lounge Music is coming back bigtime:

(Serious) question for the group               



 



Is there a difference between singing jazz and being a jazz singer?



 



As a school person I've heard lots of kids play "jazz" solos that sounded

pretty jazzy but were things they had learned by rote etc. The kid(s)

couldn't play jazz or even in a jazzy manner on a regular basis.



 



I do think there have been singers who could do jazz.  Betty Carter sang

jazz at a level even a lot of jazzers couldn't comprehend, etc.



 



Did (Does) Pat Boone sing jazz where he had learned to sing a piece in a

given fashion or is/was Pat Boone a jazz singer or is there a difference?
