Sophie Milman's voice comes through with natural talent, her cds offer a  wide variety of tempos and styles. Highly gifted artist. Voice make over is never  considered while enjoying her musical expressiveness.  
Seas Excel Diamond tweeter or Plasma?

Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine
I mean she sings OK, I feel this song is a bit of  a bore,, drags a  bit, and we can hear her voice free of studio gadgets. I think had the studio not modded her voice on records,,, may not have been as convincing,  I know some jazz buffs noticed ...
