Mary Coughlan is considered a "jazz singer." (Not by me, but online.) Her best album is probably "Love for Sale." If you can find it, you might listen. She's damn good.

Idk if I would peg Mary Coughlan as a jazz singer, or even that jazzy really. She kind of reminds me of a category that would encompass Mary Black, Kirsty McCall, Shawn Colvin, for example.
