When people on the Ella or Sarah or Carmen sites say "they don't make great singers or stylists anymore," I beseech them to please listen to Cecile McLorin Salvant.
First time I've ever heard her. She has such a sweet sound coupled with an intense driving pulse that carries you with her. I hear a little bit of Sarah and a little bit of Billie. And that ain't bad.
What a vocalist!! What an instrument Ms. Salvant has, and what style! She sings with the kind of quiet intimacy that makes you stop what you're doing and actually listen, almost holding your breath 🎵💕
Go this band's website, click on the video and watch the only entry... This band reminds me of you a lot... They have 5 albums out... I discovered them by accident while opening for another band back in 2001. www.deadmeadow.com/
I saw her perform in Paris in 2018 at the "Café de la Dance", a small venue, and was stunned by her professionalism. Everything she does here (accents, vibrato, voice changes...) is well-suited to the tune. Sometimes we can hear Sarah Vaughan', but the first name that came into my mind was Betty Carter... I know she won the Thelonius Monk award at 20 (with prestigious jurors as Jane Monheit, or Al Jarreau). This Haïtian/French vocalist has a refreshing effect on the jazz scene...
beautiful song and interpretation of the lyrics and above all her tecnique is very good, this allows her to get to this performance. I am spending hours to get to those breath and sound control ,she just does it!! Sometimes,I wonder what God has in mind in the distribution of gifts. Cheers to Cecile!
I didn't know what time it was then I met you Oh, what a lovely time it was, how sublime it was too I didn't know what day it was you held my hand Warm like the month of may it was and I'll say it was grand Grand to be alive, to be young, to be mad, to be yours alone Grand to see your face, feel your touch, hear your voice Say I'm all your own I did not know what year it was, live was no prize I wanted love and there it was, shining out of your eyes I'm wise and I know what time it's now (instrumental) Grand to be alive, to be young, to be mad, to be yours alone Grand to see your face, hear your voice, feel your touch Say I'm all your own I did not know what year it was, live was no prize I wanted love and there it was, shining out of your eyes I'm wise and I know what time it's now I didn't know what time it was then I met you Oh, what a lovely time it was, how sublime it was too I didn't know what day it was you held my hand 1, 'u-xx_large_top_margin': $height > 1}" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block;"> Warm like the month of may it was and I'll say it was grand Grand to be alive, to be young, to be mad, to be yours alone Grand to see your face, hear your voice, feel your touch Say I'm all your own I didn't know what year it was, live was no prize I wanted love and there it was, shining out of your eyes I'm wise and I know what time it's now
I love her voice. I am not exaggerating when I say that her voice is the reincarnation of Billie Holiday's voice. I also hear a lot of Ella. Can't wait to hear her singing Strange Fruit.
Deion Frizzell It can't be all bad then!!..8-)......I will confess I that all my blinkers go up when it comes to rap and hip hop...I class it all as the same (but I dare say it is completely different to each other) but hey, I'm 54 years old so I aint gonna change my mind now!
Deion Frizzell Check out a track by Gregory Porter called Musical Genocide....it sais it all!!....................and then check out the rest of his music...the man is a genius with a voice sent from above!
+Cybrmynd Te Hau Not sure why you feel the need to use such an aggressive term as "ignorant". I expressed an opinion as to my taste in music that is all, and no one can accuse me, or anyone else of "ignorance" because ones taste in music, as with all arts, is and can only ever be purely subjective.There is no right or wrong.The fact that I do not like either of those genres of music is my choice and no one can criticise me for it.Furthermore the fact that "Herbie" (by the the only Herbie I know of is Mr Hancock but do feel free to enlighten me of another if it massages your ego to do so!)" made a hip hop album, is totally irrelevant.........Tony Bennett could have made one for all I care, becasue despite my love of Tony's music, if he had, I would hate it too...I do not follow individual artists with blind faith..I "judge" each piece of music on it's own merit.As for your objection to my expressing an opinion (not a judgement) on hip hop and rap (or anything else for that matter) if you do not like people expressing an opinion that differs from your own I would suggest that RU-vid is not the ideal place for you to spend any of your leisure time, and may I also add that it is somewhat ironic, given your last sentence above, that the only one passing judgement here is you!
It's great when younger people can find a voice or other musical talent in the past. You can't really hide mediocrity with synthesizers and such in these genres. Sooner or later you're going to have to show what you have, unplugged, which tends to kick all the posers to the curb. This young lady could sing with nothing else around her and hook you.
Can somebody tell me the genre this is? Is it jazz? if so what kind? There are some many different forms of it so I can't be sure. I've never used this many question marks before lol

Hay que ser muy valiente para atreverse con una canción que ha interpretado y grabado Billie Holiday y Ella FitzGerald. Hay que ser también un poco impertinente... Pero hay que ser muy buena y tener mucho talento para hacer una preciosidad de canción así. Me gusta más que la versión de las dos divas.
