I prefer Beefeater's with my tonic.

And, laid back jazz. There is a time and place for everything.

Just watched Elvis Costello and Tony Bennett doing a show together, Tony had his own piano player, no band, and at one point Elvis had the bride (Diana Krall) come out and play "The way I feel tonight". 'Twas magic, but he's lost his range so he just sang a lower note lots of times. I thought Diana made his piano player look out of place, but again it was a big difference in STYLES, and sometimes we need more basic stuff. I've played a song and my Mom never even recognized it until I un=jazzified it. LOL
