Thank you for starting this thread. I won't repeat the
many recommendations. Here's another: Valerie

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.

jusam...you simply must listen to the album "Fairytales" by Radka Toneff and Steve Dobrogosz from 1982. I have the SACD and it is stunning. The original label Odin out of Norway just reissued the 40th anniversary vinyl from the master tapes. I have it on order. This album is Norway’s all-time best selling jazz album and was voted Norway’s #1 album of all-time based on votes from 100 of the country’s top musicians. Sadly, she committed suicide just 2 weeks after the albums release in 1982. |
