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.

Jacqui Naylor, Lisa Dillan, Janis Ian, Muse, Rita Lee, Jacintha, Zoe Fitz Gerald Carter, Joycelyn Scofield, Gabi Hartmann, Renee Dominique, Lady Blackbird, Karen Souza, Clare Teal, Jnae, Jane Morgan, Salena Jones. Some of these may only have one or two really good songs but I included them because they hit at least one song out of the park.... Like Rebecca Pidgeon, every song of hers can't be a Spanish Harlem. If you aren't sure why they were included give me their name and I will give you at least one song to look at. |
