Can recommend more of this type of music?

[red_ryder 0]

I really enjoy listening to music with female vocals, accompanied by acoustic instruments or a small band. Usually the tempo is slow, or sometimes swinging. Eg. Diana Krall, Eva Cassidy, Corrine May, Laura Fygi.

 

Any more to recommend?

Try Lisa Ono if you don't mind vocals in a foreign language (Italian?) her voice is so smooth. Try also Sarah McLachlan especially freedom sessions very intimate (and haunting even). Finally also another one of my favourites before discovering SMcL, Jewel. Look out for her 2nd & 3rd albums which I much prefer & recording is very good to the first (ok) & current one (too modern/contemporary).

jazz?

try cassandra wilson - very acoustic

dee dee bridgewater - a livewire but aoustic

rameish's choice of helen merrill is excellent - a musician's singer

joni mitchell's recent foray into jazz with 'both sides now' is a nice listen but its not a small acoustic set- its got orchestral backing

others worth checking out are:

nina simone

sarah vaughan

ella fitzgerald

radka toneff has an excellent and heart tugging recording in 'fairy tales' but is a difficult to find gem

Hi red ryder,

 

u understand chinese? If so, there are a number of good chinese jazz ladies that sings chinese pop in jazzy way, they are not that famous in Singapore but they are excellent jazz singers. Try new disc village, u can audition the albums before u buy them.

and

 

Dave's True Story.

http://www.chesky.com/catalog/body_catalog...0008&CATEGORY=1

 

Both are by the Chesky label. Good recordings, great music. The former does more classic jazz covers while the latter plays all originals.

 

btw, they are listed as $15.95USD on the chesky site, but you can get them for abt $21 at gramaphone.

 

Those of you who like recordings with ambient sounds (eg trinity sessions and freedom sessions), Dave's True Story - Sex without Bodies, is recorded in a church with no overdubs, it sounds brilliant.
