Women of Jazz showcases the originality and artistry of 10 exceptional female vocalists from North America. This collection offers extraordinary artists from several eras - legends who have inspired today's generation, stars of the contemporary jazz world and young women just now starting to make their mark on jazz history. Women of Jazz captures the depth and diversity of the female jazz experience. Women of Jazz includes original songs alongside classic 1920s ballads and Broadway show tunes. A true reflection of the creativity of today's female jazz artists, their songs often combine jazz with unexpected influences such as rhythm and blues and country ballads. Melody Gardot's song "Goodnite" showcases her subtly hip and swinging style. Madeleine Peyroux, whose sultry voice resembles that of Billie Holiday, turns Leonard Cohen's folk song into a jazz classic. Sophie Milman, winner of Canada's 2007 Juno award for best jazz vocal album, gives an inspired performance that incorporates gypsy violin and klezmer.

Cool jazz for relaxing to.
My brother sent me this CD and I loved it. Cool jazz for relaxing to. I am used to the old style (Charlie Mingus etc) but I enjoyed this too..

Cool selection
I just heard this in a trendy cafe in Rome - even though it's not officially released. Despite being played loudly, we would theorectically have been able to talk. Instead we just sat back and enjoyed a great selection of cool female jazz with mellow rhythms. This will be playing in the foreground at our next party.
