I've listened to so much Norah Jones and Diana Krall in the last month I feel like I know the personally. I'm ready to get hooked on a new sultry lady but I need some good suggestions.
Just heard the 2 cds by Madeleine Peyroux.She's phenominal and very soukful.Like the fact that she's greatly influenced by Billie Holiday, yet does all different material.
It was through Dennisb's thread I learned of the remarkable album, Morelenbaum (2)/Sakamoto: Casa (Tribute to Jobim. If you like the old Bossa Nova standards of Antonio Carlos Jobim this is a must listen.
Cellist Jaques Morelenbaum and his Paula teamed up with Ryuichi Sakamoto to create a truly magical album. It was actually recorded at Jobim's Rio De Janeiro home and Sakamoto was playing Jobim's own piano.
Paula has the voice of an angel, but I must admit it was Sakamoto's piano that really reached my heart. His minimalist style is both deeply moving and the perfect frame for when Paula's voice seems to emerge from nowhere.
