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.

I can understand anyone trying to find a jazz vocalist besides Diana Krall.

 

She is WAY too whispery/throaty to be a good vocalist in the jazz genre.

On 8/25 dawgfish suggests Linda Ronstadt and her 3 vinyls with Nelson Riddle.from  the 1980s. Her arrangements and incredible dynamic range have captivated me for years. Such incredible expressive talent. Can you imagine if she and the Eagles were still performing together.?!

Surprised no one mentioned Jacintha.

A unique talent, and her recordings are extremely high on the sound quality scale, STS.

Her rendition of Danny Boy moves me as did Belafonte's version.

Clearly a jazz singer comfortable with the old standards.
