Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Jane Monheit....?


Well, within the last 6 months I've found that I have a love for female Jazz singers. It started with Diana Krall and then Norah Jones and as of the last couple of weeks, Jane Monheit. Any recommendations on other great female jazz singers? How about male jazz artists?

It's always fun to explore a new genre and I love what I hear so far. :-)

check out Joni Mitchells BOTH SIDES NOW. I initially hated this recording, feeling that her vocals on MINGUS were much more her own. Still, her phrasing on these songs still have signature joni mitchell characteristics, and the recording as a whole is well put together. Going 180 degrees elsewhere you might want to check later recordings by Etta James. Cassandra Wilson is a must.
