Jeannie Bryson, (Dizzie Gillespie's illegitimate daughter) has a CD of Peggy Lee tandards called: Some Cats Know, it is worth a listen. Very nice, while not a classic IMO (it is slightly pop sounding) it is very well done with sincerity and conviction.
Best Jazz Vocalists - Standard Songs
Hi,
I'm looking to expand my horizons and need help finding good albums and artists who sing jazz standards. Qualities I'm looking for are lyricism, beautiful voice/tone, interpretation. Examples (albums and artists) that I have/know are along the lines of:
Female: Jacintha, Carol Kidd, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Billy Holiday
Male: Sinatra, Johnny Hartman, Tony Bennett
Who am I missing, current or past?
Re-masters and great sounding recordings would be a plus!
