Comment:
I don't think it gets any better than vocal jazz. Ida Cox isn't really considered a jazz singer, but Lover Man is definitely a jazz tune. I used the live version of It Don't Mean a Thing because it is so damn good. Oh... and Peter, if you don't like it, I still don't want to know.Feedback:
i heart your mix. very good...and has a brilliant open and closing track combo...
mmm, i tend to get so lost in thelonious monk and stan getz i forget about all the wonderful vocal jazz jast ella and sarah. this is fantastic!!
This is what the human voice is for!
Would you be willing to consider trading this for a tape of mostly Ella, Dinah, & Billie? (posted here 1/10/01)
