For what it's worth..(no, not Buffalo Springfield), several of my friends, and I, are big female Jazz vocal fans..Sarah Vaughn, Ella, Rosie Clooney....and many others...and some straight classic Jazz..Miles, Chet Baker, Hawkins...and so many others..... In saying this, there are several great female singers that are non-Jazz that are also owned by most of us. Julia Fordham, Valarie Carter, and mainly Rosanne Cash. Even the standards disk that Anne Murray did, Croonin, has found it's way in there(a disk that should be heard by many of you that don't have it).
Perhaps it is just a soft spot for the female voice, but some of these non-Jazz ladies have that "feeling" that the great Jazz ladies have/had.
So, if you love the great ladies of Jazz..and have not had an open enough mind to listen to Rosanne Cash..you have missed something special.
