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.

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)
