Here is my list of the great female jazz singers of all time. Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald. No one else comes close to these immortals. PRESENT DAY MUSIC SUCKS WHY?

I have one of her albums. She is very good. I also like the girl who sang in "The Girl from Ipanema" and the one who sang in "Waters of March". Can't think of either one of their names at the moment.

Time has filtered older music for you, for present day music you need to do the filtering yourself.

Cassadra Wilson is terrific: she belongs among the ranks of Billie, Sarah, and Ella.

Diana Krall is good, but I'm not convinced that she belongs in that select group. However, I only have her Christmas album, and perhaps I haven't heard her best stuff.

She married Elvis Costello which gives us all hope.
