Lounge music types? - jazzboCR - 13-04-2014
Wait just a durn minute< So far in this Thread you have the frantic, frenetic (Louis Prima and successor Sam Butera and the Witnesses) conflated with a serious jazz singer ( Mel Torme) with some snooze-fest candidates. What is your definition of/limits on "lounge"? Everything that doesn't fit comfortably in another category? That way lies madness. "Lounge" to me is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vj3bwouwn0 or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrtD_ddTcrY or maybe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TDhp4S-mTE
From this, you'll find the watered-down music of Martin Denny on your own

SteveO Wrote:music parodists ...Jimmy FallonThin fungible line between parody and homage--when JF plays alongside the famously prickly Neil Young, where's the line? No question about Weird Al. Parody segues into what the Skivvies do--mashups. Not trying to make you wrong here--but it's a case-by-case, career-long thing. And where do we include that odd-duck, Tom Lehre?r:
