Query: skeptical cynic Jazz lover

So far Krall seems, at best, an imitation of Jazz vocalists from the 1960's. This album is average if you are new to the genre, but as a somewhat experienced listener or as a novice who desires a little history and authenticity, you might want to look up artists from 1920 and on. Krall has a somewhat unique style; however, I thought this album was too plain, too passionless, and too "anglo-saxon". For all who read this criticism, you should listen to Astrud Gilberto (and even Fiona Apple) before considering Diana Krall.
