Jazdoc. Way to go with the Maria Rita plug. I thought I was the only one on Agon who had a clue. I have Segundo,Samba Meu and Elo and love them all. Samba Meu is a little heavy on the Cuica.

I also enjoy her mothers work, my favorite being Ellis & Tom with Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Barbara Streisand - give it a try

Lisa Fisher - backup singer for the Stones, wish she would make an album

Roseann Barr

I'm old and saw her in person,Julie London was a singer who did a lot of acting. Babs could not carry her music, or a tune for that matter.
I have a brother in law is a very famous jazz pianist, Julis is VERY well thought of among jazz folk, many say no singer had better timing, hit every note just where it should be hit.
Obviously, she didn't sing jazz in a movie, get a CD and listen with an open, not empty mind.
