Oh yeah check out Deborah Brown.Great American singer who is little known.Find her "Jazz For Jazz: recording with American ex-pats Horace Parlan,Ed Thigpen,and Red Mitchell (take a listen at AMG or Amazon).Had another great LP "Eurboppin'" but impossible to find (almost) on Alfa Jazz.Great singeing,great bands.Shame she needed to make career in Europe and is not known here.
