Fun Question Of The Month--May
It seems like nearly all of the songs in the GJ repertoire have been recorded by great jazz singers at some point in time. Which leads me to ask, who are your favorite jazz singers? Please pick no more than 2 (maybe one male & one female?--not required) and let's make a fun rule where they have to have sung at least one song that's in our repertoire (that shouldn't be challenging). I'll get it started:
Nat King Cole & Billie Holiday.

Fats Waller
Eva sur Seine
I'll be following this thread cuz I think there are some stellar singers out there who I should know about but unfortunately don't. I just LOVE great singing. Often more than great guitar playing. For now, just gonna say Ella Fitzgerald...
Ella is my favourite.
I absolutely love Tcha Limberger's singing too. I'm going to see him play/sing in a couple of weeks!!!!
I mean, for me it's King Cole and everyone else after
I absolutely love Tcha Limberger's singing
An amazing thing I've heard Tcha do is sing a melody while simultaneously playing a harmony line to it on the violin.
yes indeed, and also filling in notes as he goes - to great effect!!
