I somehow missed it until yesterday, but the Post-Dispatch had a longish feature on songstress Erin Bode, written by pop critic Kevin Johnson, in Sunday's paper.
The article doesn't contain any startling revelations - it's mostly just a recap of Bode's career so far - but I thought it was interesting that MAXJAZZ label head Richard McDonnell was quoted discussing Bode's career in terms of her potential for crossover to pop (presumably in the multi-platinum manner of Norah Jones) rather than in terms of her further development as a jazz artist. Bode will be recording her second CD soon, and I look forward to hearing how she balances the pop and folk influences mentioned in the article with the jazz work she's done up to now.
