Female Vocalist like Diana Krall, Jacintha.

Fellow Audiogoners,

Please give me suggestions to female vocalists in the similar styles as Diana Krall, Jacintha, Holly Cole (when she sings slower songs) , Karen Carpenter and Patricia Barber (when she does slower songs). Someone that does not have a deep a voice. I have tried Nora Jones but I do not like the heavy blues influence. I can live with Alison Krause occasionally due to country beat.

I listen to classical most of the time but am beginning to enjoy some light jazz female vocals.

Thanks.

Aaron

Not sure if she fits in with your description, but I think that Jennifer Warnes is very much under rated with a superb voice. Most will cite "Famous Blue Raincoat" as her definitive album. However, I personally think that "Shot Through the Heart" and "Hunter" are both superior albums in terms of content, if not sonics.

Try also try, Marlena Shaw "Live in Tokyo" on Eighty-Eights, a Japanese pressing, of you can find it. Maybe it is on CD, too, I don't know.

I like Eva Cassidy, as well. Also, Janis Ian "Between the Lines" and "Breaking Silence".

Have you tried Dinah Washington?

Hpshps, I agree completely with Lizz Wright and would also suggest Orna and Jenna Mammina. You won't be disappointed.
