    Greetings,

    Female:
    B. Holiday for slow tempo and final chords that punctuate her songs
    E. Fitzgerald had vocal dexterity par none

    Male:
    J. Hartman performed the classic "Lush Life"
    E. Jefferson was 'out there'

    Group:
    Lambert, Hendricks & Ross well-known but still needs more accolades


    Vocalist/Iinstrumentalist
    N. Simone
    C. Baker
    H. Connick, Jr

    Performance you should hear:
    Horace Silver's album "Silver 'n Voices" has rich-textured Jazz harmony Vocal Choir as only Silver could produce. It is hard to find, but I have it available if need be.

    I am working on my Masters and for the course Musicians and the internet I had to social network, create a blog,a dn will develop a web site soon.

    check out the blog for "Jazz in film/film on Jazz" at:
