Qhwoeprktiyns Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 A few more suggestions: - Joya Sherrill, discovered by Ellington - check out her album "Sings Duke" - she is accompanied by members of the Elllington band (Hodges, Nance, etc..). - Nancy Harrow. Her first album is great, with Buck Clayton, among others. Excellent swing session. Took a long break to raise here kids and came out in the 70s and 80s with a few more interesting albums - Better known, and one of my favorites: Rosemary Clooney (George's aunt). Lots of albums to discover. kumakuma 1 Link to comment
Qhwoeprktiyns Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 If you are a jazz fan, then this album by Patti Austin is definitely worth checking out as well: While we are at it, here is a fantastic record ("Being Myself") by a fantastic lady - Lena Horne: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_Myself_(Lena_Horne_album) Who remembers Donna Hightower ? Excellent album with Ben Webster Link to comment
