Female Jazz Vocalists

[Deliriumbassist]

Esperanza Spalding- brilliant voice, great composition skills, and a pretty damn good bassist to boot!

 

[DocG]

Excellent list so far, Shafin!

i'd like to add two more ladies:

Shelby Lynne - Just a little lovin'; the title song is great : http://open.spotify.com/track/4aw3fSvZdrmapQvPTklwqw

Marisa Monte - everything e.g. Borboleta: http://open.spotify.com/track/6g6Qfm7HWo4xyILr1u7L6r

Merry Xmas, everyone!

Randy Crawford with The Crusaders- Street Life

How about Carol Kidd, 'All my Tomorrows', been around for a long time, records on Linn Records. You can hear All my Tomorrows on Spotify. I paticularly like her ability to change voice texture, acording to the song and tempo, takes away that samo-samo sound some singers have?

+ 1 for Carol Kidd - Dreamsville

Although this might not necessarily be Jazz and I'm aware many people don't like the original album of this band, Florence and the Machine, MTV live unplugged is a GREAT album, well recorded too. It really shows off Florence Welch's vocal talents in a way that their own albums don't unfortunately. An absolute must listen for all music fans alike. Would recommend you listen to acoustic versions of Cosmic Love, Shake it out, Dog Days are Over and my absolute favourite Halo.

You are welcome

Will check that out... if we're not restricted to Jazz female vocalists, may I suggest a few others...

Kate Walsh – The Real Thing

Rachel Sermanni – Under Mountains

Lucy Rose – Like I Used To

 

[Electro]

Anne Bisson - Camilio
