Hey Wayne,
I Like most types of music, depending on the mood....classical, jazz, sometimes indian classical (there are many types), rap, country, pop..
they are all good.
But within each genre i have likes & dislikes, and while i do like the genre that nora jones plays in...(the 3-4 instrument jazz ensemble with vocals) i find her not be a talent at all...at least compared to others like diana krall (amazing voice, decent piano, wisely sings old classics) and shirley horn (amazing voice & arrangements, knows that silence is a part of a passage, decent piano, also sings old classics).
Movies by musicians: i agree with you. did you see the JAzz singer....neil diamond in a major narcissistic role? Music & movies are so different, that;s probably why musicians can;t make good movies.
The only GOOD music move i say was: "The Last Waltz" made by Martin Scorcese...about the band's last concert. That is a GOOD flick.

P.s> "that song of Nora Jones: "Don;t know why you didn;t come"...is that some kinda tongue in cheek lyric...or am i giving her WAYY too much credit for any kind of "sophistication"?
