Her actual sound is vaguely reminiscent of Riki Lee Jones or Phobe Snow at times&#8230; Either you like or you hate it.  Her delivery and emotion remind me very much of Nancy King.  Unlike some of the other contemporary female vocalist \/ keyboardists, Tina&#8217;s style is jazz-vocal bordering on folk music (since jazz is indigenous to America, isn&#8217;t it a form of folk music anyway?)<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;Flying Solo&#8221; is a smooth and simple yet jazzy piece. &#8220;Raise Your Voice&#8221; never gets loud, rather it&#8217;s sinuous mix of afro-cuban rhythms and vocal stylings grabs you from behind. Then on &#8220;The Village Is Ours&#8221; Tina jumps out at you with a <i>big-band vocal piece<\/i>, showing her range.  &#8220;Buy It Now&#8221; is a moment of complete lunacy, but the rest of the CD is a mellow, pleasant experience.<\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><cfinclude template=\"adbanner.asp\"\/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>    <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Road Home Tina Lear(RedHot Records &#8211; 2001) by Carmen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3406\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
