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.

Cassandra Wilson and Norah Jones, both on Blue Note Records (and in audiophile pressings by Analogue Productions).

Roberta Flack, “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, on the album Fist Take.   Simply breathtaking.

I might suggest Amanda McBroom. Has several albums on Sheffield, maybe other labels.  And also, just to perform the song she wrote, "The Rose," Bette Midler.

One of the most insanely badass albums I've been listening to lately is Cande y Paulo, it's mind blowing...  She is amazing... Honorable female vocal albums mention goes to London Grammar, Lake Street Dive, This is the Kit... All incredible female vocals that will change your life
