More female vocals

I don't know if anyone has mentioned Ella Fitzgerald. If not,there can't be a discussion of the greatest jazz singers ever without her name being included. Her "songbooks" are classics and just about anything she'e done is worth hearing. There is alot to pick from.

Sarah Vaughn, Dinah Washington, Dakota Staton, Shirley Bassey, and Gloria Lynne can be added to the list.

Roberta Gambarini,, what a range,, an Ella reincarnate! Saw her last year at The Blue Note in NYC and earlier at the Telluride Jazz Festival.. Amazing voice.

Kellylee Evans. Her third cd should be out very soon. Check out Amazon or CD Baby for samples.

Cecilia Bartoli: "Maria"; "The Impatient Lover: Italian Songs"

Tierney Sutton: "Blue in Green"; "Desire"

Kelly Flint, but only during her stint with Dave's True Story: "Sex Without Bodies"; "Nature"
