COMMENT: YES! The jazz musician's voice is the not-from-the-bulllshit-zone, non-Autotuned, unpranked, disintermediated , authentic, generous-spirited voice. EXACTLY what the media needs in an era where trust has broken down. In the UK we had Humph. We now have Jamie. And are immeasurably better for it.
