Impressive young talent that may not have been mentioned here yet, Rachael Yamagata. On Happenstance, she authored most of the music and lyrics. She plays piano. Anyone else enjoying her blend of music and vocals?
Wonderfull list, quite a few new discoveries for me here.
I would like to give some back!

I bought "Careless Love" at the weekend on the strength of the Stereophile review (I was bored and wanted to buy something new) and have not been dissapointed. I'm not a huge Billie Holliday fan but she does sound very close -- it's a real "old time" sound that lends a very satisfying and warm quality to most of the songs. I particularly like tracks 1, 2 and 9. the recording quality is high and really shows off the low-level resolution and imaging in my system. A lot of tracks use brushes which add a certain "air" to the sound. Highly recommended1!
