IMHO just a good jazz lounge singer. Some good talent. I don't think in the top 20 of all time female jazz singers. If one is assembling a TOP female jazz collection she's not in it. erik_squires, your not missing something special.
Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to
Norah Jones is the darling of Jazz and Audiophile press for a few years. I've heard her albums, maybe even bought one. Look, being a musical artist is hard as hell and I can't do it, but I realize in listening to others talk about her that I'm missing something special while listening to her.
Please, without wanting to pile on her, if you love her tell me why. What has you going about Miss Jones that makes her a standout? No wrong answers.
