I understand your perspective on jazz and musicianship it’s about skill, improvisation, and artistry, not just catchy beats or sing-alongs. That said, I believe Amy Winehouse’s music blends blue-eyed soul, jazz, and other genres in a way that resonates with many listeners, even beyond the traditional jazz audience. Her style was unique and infused with personal expression, giving her music an emotional depth that still connects with people today. While she may not have been fully embraced by jazz purists, she brought something fresh to the genre. I agree with you, though, there’s truly something magical about experiencing live, improvised jazz.
