Grow up.

Do you think that the Big Band Genre is limited to instruments??? You
are a bit correct when you link him to the jazz stylizing, though.
Here, some education for you, CLEARLY listing Buble, and Connick in the
big band genre!:

Which, the title says: New Release - Big Band Genre (Buble/ Harry
Connick style)

Iit took you two days to find a site that had all those words
together? Did you even read the site? It's an announcement for a
release of some Big Band Genre *sheet music*, note there's no mention
of LYRICS, and it's in, parenthetically, the Connick/Buble STYLE.
Someone is peddling some sheet music arranged for a Big Band, and is
using two big names to advertise it. He's hoping people will think it
might sound similar to the music to which Connick and Buble apply
their crooning skills. Do you understand, or are you stupid?


Crooner is the genre that Sinatra, Connick and Buble belong to. That
style originated in the big band era, and the crooners were typically
backed up by a big band, but not always. In the end, Buble is
definitely not "big band", he's a crooner. From Wikipedia:

"However, crooners have not completely disappeared, with contemporary
performers such as Tony Bennett, Harry Connick Jr., Michael Bublé, and
Rod Stewart keeping the form alive."

There's NO SUCH THING as a "crooner genre"!!!!

You're kidding, right? That's a news flash for the entire music
industry! A google search for "crooner genre" returns about 364,000
hits, and scanning just a few of them shows music industry rags,
artists, newspapers, and music websites all referring to, and
describing themselves as, the "crooner genre".

Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?


And about big bands:

"A big band is a large musical ensemble that plays jazz music."
Nowhere do they even mention a singer.

Again, the GENRE.........jeez. I can tell, although you may think you
do, that you don't know much about music!!

Evidently, more than you. We've now established that while there is a
Big Band genre, and there is also a Crooner genre. People do indeed
croon to big band music, but big band does not define crooning. Buble
and Connick are crooners, NOT big band. Sinatra was not first, he
came ten years after the first crooner. All these things are facts,
backed up by research, that prove wrong the things that *you* have
said in this thread. Understand?



Jack, with your narrow minded thinking, I seriously doubt that you
could educate anybody on anything, unless it's how to be narrow minded!

Maybe, but I just broadened your horizons. You're welcome.

No, you just proved yourself ignorant of the facts.

Yes, you did. And I quote:

There's NO SUCH THING as a "crooner genre"!!!!

Giggle. Indeed.
