Article: Favorite Female Vocalists


Recommended Posts

OK I guess we're not allowed to talk about Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald but I suggest we should use these great singers as references for more recent ones.

I certainly agree with the choices made in the article.

I'd add Veronica Swift who can certainly stand comparison with the above icons.

I do have a problem with many recordings of current singers - they have been compressed, presumably to sound louder and compete in the pop music market.

Joe -

 

I really enjoyed the lineup as always. 

 

A few other contemporaries that I have enjoyed: Gretchen Parlato's Live in NYC; Diana Panton's If the Moon Turns Green; Sophie Milman's self titled Sophie Milman album.  All 3 are available on Tidal and each has helped me form a baseline for my system.  Cheers

Thanks for the list and notes.

 

I never make a change to my audio system without playing Jackie Allen's "Love is Blue" CD. 

Lizz Wright is awesome.

Joe,

 

Thanks for the info on these female vocalists.   Great stuff!

Must put some time aside to explore their work.
