Shapiro grades "American Idol"

The Boston Herald recently asked Jan Shapiro, the St. Louis native who heads the vocal jazz program at Berklee College of Music, to watch an episode of "American Idol" and comment on what she saw. Even if you're not a fan of the popular reality/talent show, Shapiro's critique is entertaining and even instructive, and you can read it online here.

Shapiro will be in St. Louis on Thursday, April 5 to do a free concert as part of Washington University's Jazz at Holmes series and promote her recent self-released CD, Back To Basics.

(Edited 3/26/07 to correct the date of Shapiro's St. Louis concert.)
