Found a new CD on amazon for just $7 including shipping so ordered that way.

Frugal eager beaver.

Good find, while I have most if not all their releases, I favor ' Out of this Mood' which is the first one I picked up.

These ladies are a very different level of song bird and in a class of their own…

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Stacey Kent for the current group.

I don't understand a thing she is saying but lovely music regardless . Had to order the disc from UK. No downloads and local prices were substantially higher! So let you know how it sounds a month from now .

Amir, I have downloaded most of Stacey Kent's albums from Qobuz. They are CD rips but sound sensational. Her husband and band leader and superb tenor man, Jim Tomlinson, is a stickler for sound. I had the pleasure of meeting both at Birdland on their recent trip to the US as per the picture in the concerts thread here at WBF. They will be back in January. Stacey is a Jersey girl who now lives in the UK. Sings in French and Portugese in addition to English and is quite the star in Europe. her and the band put on a great show. Jim plays the tenor in the style of Ben Webster and sounds superb.

There is actually a better link with lower prices: http://www.amazon.com/Raconte-Moi-STACEY-KENT/dp/B0037Z3D22

I just chose to buy through the UK distributor on Amazon because of lower prices and not being in a hurry.

Her live CD is wonderful too;

Oh excellent! Amazon including prime shipping was selling it for just $2.55!!! So I ordered it . Thanks a bunch.

Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Dreamer-Conce.../ref=tmm_acd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Best bargain in a long time! They have 14 more if others want to take advantage before they catch their mistake.

Cecile is a pretty good one to check out. Her debut album WomanChild is a must have. A few others I'd suggest, very much in that same sultry mode as Melody and Sophie, would be Jane Monheit, Laura Fygi, Marilyn Scott, Jeanie Bryson (Dizzy's daughter), Rachelle Ferrell, Kellye Gray (Standards in Gray is highly recommended) . China Moses, daughter of Dee Dee Bridgewater, has an album she did with Ralphael Lemmonier called This One is for Dinah that's pretty nice too. Currently, I have Jaimee Paul, Somi and Zara McFarlane on heavy rotation.

Yes, WomanChild is a must have. I'll check out your other suggestions.

Here's another one you might like:

If not previously mentioned, the new Melody Gardot release / Currency of Man is outstanding.

PS: Much more engaging IMHO than the previous releases with some great lyrics and musicianship. On the "dark" side of the equation.

I realize that I am late to the party. However, the talk about Shelby Lynn had me thinking that I should share a bit of information. Shelby has a very talented sister name Allison Moorer. More country and torch singer than jazz......but a great voice. They actually sing 3 songs together on Moorer's "Show" album.
