The woman is good looking.
She can play the piano quite well (she was one of Ray Brown's students
and Ray did not take on students whose talents were even remotely
suspect).
She can sing respectably well.
She makes jazz and swing accessible.
She puts on a good show at her concerts, which usually sell out wherever
she goes. She has a broader appeal than about 90% of jazz musicians.
She makes money - for herself, the promoters, and her record company.
How many musicians - esp. jazz musicians - can do all this? Not too many.
Lack of skill dictates economy of style. - Joey Ramone
