I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah


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.

Hey Wmcmanus, thanks anyway. I already have etta, nina, eva and a little etta. I agree, Eva is very nice.
I just listened to live at blues alley last night.
THANKS EVERYONE. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS MANY RESPONSES. I didn't this many people enjoyed jazz vocalist as much as I do. I really appreciate the feedback. I've sampled most of the names at CDNOW.com. I really like a lot of the voices. A couple that stood out are Shirley Horn & Lisa Ekdahl. My list of cds to purchase is now up to 27. This is going to cost me about $500. I'm looking forward to going to J & R on Monday.

Anymore?

Uh...Billie Holiday?

Also agree with the recommendations of Shirley Horn, Cassandra Wilson, Abbey Lincoln, and Sarah Vaughan.

Dinah Washington, Betty Carter, and Dee Dee Bridgewater are three others to add to your search.

Happy hunting.
