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.

+1 for Allison Krause and Cowboy Junkies

Add Secret Sisters, especially their first album.

Cecile McLorin Salvant 

One of the best..and very much alive.

Try "Dreams and Daggers"..well recorded live ...a Demo record for sure..

Margo Timmins ..another classic live recording with one stereo mike, "The Trinity Session"

but Cecile is in league with Ella and Billie..
