Hard to decide which one is favorite but lately I've been listenning to mostly Verse, Moder Cool and Companion. Question is, after you have all of her CDs, what else do you listen to or recommend that is close in style and quality of musicians? Any time I go to buy a CD I have a hard time choosing something I really like. Would be great to see what you all PB fans listen to. |
When I 1st heard PB's latest "Live: A Fortnight in France" I did not think too much of it but this is the type of CD that grows on you as you play more of it. IMO, the performance on this CD matches all her other earlier releases. A favourite of PBs, to me all of her releases are....... As an alternative to PB's style, try Stacey Kent. She does not sound at all like PB ("dark") & her presentation of songs are very much more upbeat & refreshing. Certainly one of my favourite jazz singers together with PB & others. BTW, Stacey's hubby Jim Tomlinson backs her up with his Sax playing & IMO blends into her vocals very nicely. http://www.staceykent.com/ |
By the way, that latest live cd, I don't have it yet. I got to get it. It's got to be good. Ipy, thanks. I checked out the new cd of Stacey Kent. She's pretty good. See the thing is if you look at all these singers, they basically sing all the same songs, pretty much the only difference is the voice. PB on the other hand, even if she sings a classic, she sounds like no other. That's the thing. Same as with Steely Dan, pretty much unique style. Makes it tough because evrything else sounds like something I already heard before... I'll keep on searching, but suggestions on what to check out would be great. thanks... |
