Female Vocalist like Diana Krall, Jacintha.


Fellow Audiogoners,

Please give me suggestions to female vocalists in the similar styles as Diana Krall, Jacintha, Holly Cole (when she sings slower songs) , Karen Carpenter and Patricia Barber (when she does slower songs). Someone that does not have a deep a voice. I have tried Nora Jones but I do not like the heavy blues influence. I can live with Alison Krause occasionally due to country beat.

I listen to classical most of the time but am beginning to enjoy some light jazz female vocals.

Thanks.

Absolutely get Tierney Sutton!! Her "Introducing Tierney Sutton" is fantastic! Then get "Blue in Green", "Unsung Heros" and "Something Cool." If you have SACD "Something Cool" comes in this format. I'd love the opportunity to see her. She also has a website.

A terrific CD is Jane Monheit's first "Never Never Land." I din't particularly like her 2nd CD, but this first one is truly special.

Nora Jones, though not really the kind of jazz singer we often think of is worth picking up. Her rendition of "The Nearness of You" is beautifully done.
