Surprised that Claire Martin hasn't yet been mentioned. An excellent jazz singer, and her work is well-recorded.
Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...
Most of my listeing is female vocals and classic Jazz. I have enjoyed current and older female singers. I have most of Billie Holiday through current Diana Krall and Julia Fordham. I enjoy good voices mainly acoustic. It would be helpful if it is music I can sample online. If the backing is mainly loud elctronic I would likely pass. Thanks for your thoughts and experience.

Ella Fitzgerald has to be included. Anita O'Day is another very good jazz singer. Peggy Lee sizzles. Cécile McLorin Salvant is worth a listen
Great thread - I've been enlightened. I didn't know; Susie Arioli Kristin Asbjørnsen Melody Bardot (Wow - she's great) Youn Sun Nah All are now in my playlist - Thanks!! |
Mindy Smith: One Moment More..... Surprisingly good recording and good music to boot Eva Cassidy: Live at Blues Alley..... Clean recording, can get a bit hot on a few spots, but overall, very good. Erin Bode: Don't Take Your Time, Over and Over, Little Garden, Here and Now....All recordings are good to very good, nice laid back jazzy sound... I like all of these albums.
