Fizzy 2,179 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Not only is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta a credible jazz singer; she can get people to buy a jazz record, which is no small achievement. Perhaps the enormously popular Gaga could get her devotees to buy anything these days. But her foray into jazz was a risk. Joni Mitchell began putting out increasingly jazz-tinged albums in the 1970s and lost much of her audience. ItĂ¢ââââ¢s also not uncommon for female pop singers to turn to jazz as Linda Ronstadt did in the Ă¢ââââ¢80sĂ¢ââââŹand Annie Lennox did more recentlyĂ¢ââââŹwhen they are no longer ingĂĆŠnues and must court older listeners. Gaga, who is 28, doesnĂ¢ââââ¢t have to do that yet. She still looks fine in a clamshell bikini or any other revealing outfit she chooses. The truth is that Cheek to Cheek triumphs because Gaga and her senior partner sound so good together on their American Songbook selections. Gaga brings something to these familiar songs that only a true artist can: her own point of view. Some people say jazz is a dying art form. The success of Cheek to Cheek would seem to suggest otherwise.
