Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...


Most of my listeing is female vocals and classic Jazz.  I have enjoyed current and older female singers.  I have most of Billie Holiday through current Diana Krall and Julia Fordham.  I enjoy good voices mainly acoustic.  It would be helpful if it is music I can sample online.  If the backing is mainly loud elctronic I would likely pass.  Thanks for your thoughts and experience.

“Map To The Treasure” by Billy Childs has a splendid array of ladies singing the songs of Laura Nyro. A beautiful recording. 
 

Susanne Abbuehl “April” is nice for something less ordinary.
 

Thanks for starting a fun thread. 

What, no Joni Mitchell mentioned yet?

Margo Timmins

Natalie Merchant

Sandy Denny

Ella Fitzgerald (mentioned)
