    Off topic:  Since Uganda has again put Somalia on the map for the American public, perhaps they need be reminded of a bit of recent HISTORY (so they aren't condemned to repeat it...)

    I had never heard of Diana Krall. Let's hope for next time she'd get a clue from Elvis

    Diana Krall has been overpromoted in my opinion as a Jazz musician.  There are women who, although they don't sing, deserve more credit than she: Renee Rosnes and Jessica Williams both tower over her on the piano.

    A historical note --

    Eli Tisona (who was called one of the top Israeli mobsters by the Jerusalem Post) appeared on the Jamaican scene at this point as a business person involved with a supposed high tech agricultural scheme. Tisona, with no known experience in agriculture, was supposed to be the brains behind a scheme of the Prime Minister Edward Seaga for the establishment of an agricultural complex called Springs Plain that was supposed to sell winter vegetables to the United States. It turned out that this was just another front for the transfer of cocaine from Colombia to the United States through Jamaica. During the Seaga period, the planes that were leased to fly out the winter vegetables flew from Colombia before collecting the ‘vegetables’ from Jamaica. At this period International Lease Financing Corp (ILFC), the Los Angeles-based aircraft leasing division of AIG, was the biggest force in the leasing of planes. AIG worked closely with the US intelligence services to the point where the CEO of AIG was once under consideration to become the director of the CIA.

    After the end of the Cold war and the defeat of Edward Seaga, Tisona was arrested and jailed in the United States on charges of fraud and money laundering. In 1997, an Israeli Knesset committee report named Eli Tisona and his brother, Ezra, as being the country's two most powerful drug lords. Tisona was jailed in the US in 1999.

    Seconded; I call the Krall style Jazz for people who don't like Jazz. Jamie Cullum is another offender.
