As a matter of fact, I am wrapping up a Michael Buble stocking stuffer for my 75-year old stepfather, a former jazz drummer who has turned me on to all sorts of great musicians like Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughn. I am also including a k.d. lang CD, who along with Diana Krall, is one of my favorites. Krall, like Sinatra, is a masterful phraser. Sounds very Star Trek. Phrasers on stun! Check out the "Girl in the Other Room CD. Also, the DVD of "Diana Krall Live in Paris" will make you fall in love after two songs. Jane Monheidt is very sweet and so is Norah Jones, but neither have the soul of Diana Krall.
