Also check out ORNA The Very Though of You (A440 musicgroup). She has a much sweeter tone than the current jazz singers, and she is accompanied by some notable musicians including Brian Bromberg who also produced the CD. Brian Bromberg has a good ear, and the CD is a decent recording.
Better than Norah Jones...?
Ok here is a recommendation,an album I meant to buy for the girlfriend for a while (since 2002!) but just got round to this week.
To my ears,lighter but more substantial overall than Ms Jones mega succesful CD.
Light,Latin a bit jazzy mostly in Brazilian but very accessable and contemporary sounding without being over done.......
Audiogon,get to hear,take a chance and buy the lovely female vocals of..........
Bebel Gilberto-Tanto Tempo. (East West 0927-47407)
Rave reviews from Mojo,Blues& Soul,The Independent and The London Evening Standard,Q Magazine and a drunken Glaswegian.
Very much a summer record and whisper it better recorded than Norah Jones imho.
