Comment:

Once you've made up your mind to kick back and soak up the summertime, you might be wondering what's next. Fortunately, some jazzy ladies have a few suggestions for you. Diana Krall's honeyed croon and tinkled piano lines spin a sultry web around a beloved tune and an old idea: "Let's Fall In Love." Cassandra Wilson's mellow, funky flow on "Go to Mexico" adds a hip-hop-tinged groove to her summertime travel directions. And if you're too relaxed to take any big steps, just get in touch with the soothing sounds of summer while nü-jazz crooner Lizz Wright turns Carole King's propulsive pop hit "I Feel the Earth Move" into a dreamy ballad just right for a sun-bathing soundtrack.
