I've listened to so much Norah Jones and Diana Krall in the last month I feel like I know the personally. I'm ready to get hooked on a new sultry lady but I need some good suggestions.
Meech33, nice thread. I'm sure you're looking for new (modern) singers, but just a quick mention of some of the oldtimers out of respect - Sarah Vaughn, Ella, Nina Simone, Etta James and more recently Eva Cassidy (very seductive - although a dfferent style of jazz/soft blues).
Lani Hall, an amazing, natural voice; recorded with sergio mendes & bradil66 in the 60's. sure, some of the arrangemnets sound 'cheesy' by todays standards, but it was the 'style' back then.
Going back to old Sergio Mendes recordings, all his female singers beginning with Wanda De Sah in his Brazil '65 renditions were all talented. Going back further, Criss Connors was a forceful singer during the days with Brubeck. Lena Horne also had her days.
When tired of the new renditions, one can always go back to your old record collection and have a change of pace. How about the old Getz/Gilberto recordings?
