So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Been listening to this singer lately. I really like what she does with her voice and her songs.

This is how she describes herself, but I would say she's more like McRae than any of those others. Far too many new singers try to emulate Ella and Sarah, so it's nice to hear one who doesn't.

[Singer Vanisha Gould was inspired by artists like Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Joni Mitchell, Carmen McRae and Ella Fitzgerald, she has successfully curated her own sound as a composer and band leader. Performing originals and music from the Great American Songbook on stages both in New York and overseas, she aspires to continue sharing her voice with audiences in New York and beyond.]

I've always liked J.J.'s run at Columbia. Great stuff.

Super liked growing up listening to mid 70's-early 80's jazz on the radio, one of my favorites.

This one doesn’t seem to be so out of place following the Sutton. It has been too long since I brought some energetic Tania Maria music into my room. I love this woman! What a talent!

oh so early ? Somehow I had supposed that it might have been in the late 70´s or early 80´s, when more acoustic jazz artists made records for Columbia, especially Dexter Gordon. Since Dex and J.J. is same generation I made the wrong link that it was the same with J.J. (comeback of acoustic jazz). 

Thanks for correcting my mistake !
