I Double-Dog Dare you to start a "Least Favorite Vocal Jazz Recordings" discussion.
(Slow News day...)
Thanks in advance.
There'd be no point because it's a foregone conclusion! Sinatra'd win hands-down!
Oh really???There'd be no point because it's a foregone conclusion! Sinatra'd win hands-down!
Miles named Sinatra as his favorite singer, in an interview. Sooo ...There'd be no point because it's a foregone conclusion! Sinatra'd win hands-down!
Would you have bought a car from Miles? I rest my case.Miles named Sinatra as his favorite singer, in an interview. Sooo ...
If you can't trust someone enough to think you'll get a fair deal buying their car, how can you trust them with anything else?
I followed Cyrille Aimee to Tidal and am really enjoying her.
Will spend some more time with Nikki Parrott too.
Thanks for these suggestions.
I can’t find any recordings of Billy Eckstine (one of my all time favorites) with a small(er) band anywhere on the internet. I need to dig through my records and turn away from this streaming nonsense, I know I’ve got something somewhere…
Her entire catalogue is noteworthy.
I was certainly aware of Lorez Alexandria before, but I don't think I had ever sat down and listened to her. I like her a lot. Great voice, great expression, good repertoire, and seemed to make more smallish group recordings than her contemporaries.
This is a great one. Don’t Go To Strangers was on the juke box at Rusty’s Jazz Cafe in Toledo back in the day. George Duvivier on Bass and Roy Haynes on drums, a strange and beautiful hook up. I spent a lot of time with this record. Frank Wess on Tenor and Flute.
