Rok, she sings better than she looks.Voice reminds me of a clear mountain brook.
I'm primarily a Clasical listener, of the 4k CD's and albums I own about 200 hundred are jazz, the rest classical.
That said, If I had to cut down to 20 titles, one would be by Horace Silver(songs of my father) and one(any one) by Karrin Allyson
Rok, upon reflection I do have a serious imbalance in my collection, only about 10% is Bach !
Seriously I never cared for Jazz much, not an active dislike like rock, but until I was in my 60's I didn't realize there is a place for things without a beginning, middle and end. Jazz can be very relaxing and soothing.
Mapman, re Ella, hard to argue,she is the icon allright.

However, great as she is, I can never shake the feeling she would rather be somewhere else , doing something else.
