 CBC.ca - Arts - Music - Crossing Over with Michael Bublé
As a result, crooners give jazz standards the standard treatment, defaulting to one of two modes: lusty, brass-heavy big band or plaintive piano trio (where the drummer inevitably opts for brushes rather than sticks).
Crooners allow casual listeners to experience something “jazzy” or “jazz-like” without having to suffer through all those fancy chord changes and tedious, squawking solos.
Crooners like Bublé and Dusk are clearly populists by nature; others, like Diana Krall, however, end up sublimating their jazz purism.

 the crooner
The Crooner's story begins in 1992, when Zissimos (guitarist and singer of One Night Suzan) started working on a solo project with the nick-name "The Crooner" in order to express his love for bossa nova music and bands like Everything But The Girl or Cherry Red Records.
Zissimos and Makis worked so well together that, after their bands split, they decided to collaborate permanently, thus turning the Crooner into a duo.
Their love for pop and also electronic music led the Crooner to a new direction, a mixture of pure pop with some electronic elements, which evolves day by day.

I run it with a pair of Cerwin-Vega D-1s I've had for 20 years (need refoaming, but that's another thread), most often with the digital cable TV box as the input, and at low power (10W tops by the meter).
Crooner, I was wondering why you guessed they were 30W per channel; the back panel says 80W and the meter on the front matches that.
This would be the total power consumption of the unit, including the power put into the loads (speakers), the power consumed by the preamp stages and meter and the wattage dissipated as heat.

America was in the midst of one of its most romantic musical periods, and velvety-voiced singers like Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee serenaded and seduced the country.

A white Christmas of sorts arrived Tuesday for several major recording companies when the California Supreme Court agreed to hear a significant attorney-client case involving the Bing Crosby estate.

The recording companies had made a demand for documents after HLC sued them in 2000, alleging at least $16 million in underpaid royalties on several recording contracts Crosby had entered into before his 1977 death.
