My personal favorite-Patty Larkin-try "Regrooving the Dream" or "Strangers World". Just saw her live in a 260 seat venue-remarkable voice and acoustic guitar playing.
Diana Krall is young and loves to try all kinds of different sounds within her scope. I find that exciting and genuine. How can you compare her to "great singers of all time" when she is quite new in comparison. Allison Kraus, Shawn Colvin and Joni Mitchell are some others. Sarah Vaughn and Ella, Anita O'day, Aretha Franklin are in another catagory and all can really connect. But right now? Diana Krall has me feeling anew. And you can't beat those recordings.
