Your right Mike.

It was Meatloaf.

Chris

Yup, Chris.  I was never a huge Meatloaf fan, but do like their music.

BObbin, I have to try to find the Ella Fitzgerald Christmas album you mentioned.  I love old jazz/blues/gospel.  Satchmo is a fav. 

June

I bought mine at local music store years ago, June.  But I've seen it on Amazon and you can "sample".  I'll bet they pair it with the Louis Armstrong album, too.  That one features classic jazz renditions by various artists.  Mel Torme, Lena Horn, Louis Jordan, Duke Ellington.  It's really good, too. 

Meatloaf... what was that slob thinking?  The baseball game "called" in the background on "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights" always cracked me up.  Lol.

Bobbin : Ya like this lady ?

I like her voice and she is an amazing pianist. This is one of her jazz tunes.

I like Diana Krall OK, but she's never really "done it for me", the way Diane Schuur does.  Don't get me wrong, she has a great voice (3 octave range), but I don't think she delivers a song the way Diane Schuur does (she has 3 octaves, as well), it's just a "style thing". 

I listened to story on NPR yesterday last evening and they interviewed a guy who's just come out with a book on the "great American songbook" and the singers who've performed the standards.  He's included young performers, too... Harry Connick Jr., and more notably, Michael Buble.  I've always liked his voice and it was nice to hear him acknowledged as part of a younger generation who's carrying the torch in the world of jazz standards. 

TOP; they were fabulous... no wonder Steely Dan snagged them for parts on their later albums!  We moved from an outlying community west of Boston when I was just out of Jr. High.  We moved to NH.  And I recall being shocked that many of the kids in my classes didn't listen to any soul or R&B, Mike.  When they sneered at me and asked, "you listen to ---ger music?" I knew I'd been relocated to a parallel universe and began counting the days until I could get away, lol!  Most of the radio stations didn't play much of it, either, there just wasn't the diversity of music that was available in the metro Boston area.  It made me really, really homesick.

  I'm an ol rock N roller, but I do listen to all types including jazz..
  One of my fav's is listening to Melody Gardot...read about her tragic accident that lead her through rehab by music. Hope this link works to one of her songs.

Gale,

I had not heard of Melody Gardot before. I listened to her videos and she sounded very familiar.

What do you think?
