So few days ago we had a favourite classical music thread.
I'm having a very lazy Saturday with jazz music and it's blissful.
Etta James ~ Stormy weather seems appt for today .
So who or what is you favourite Jazz singer or piece of music.

"Im a fan of Buddy Rich and Big Band Jazz stuff.

"Gregory Porter
Such an amazingly powerful and in some ways calming voice. Amazing live too "
He's currently my favourite ' new' jazz voice. I know he's been around for a few years. I've added most of his albums to my play list .  |

To play? I'm a saxophonist so I like getting the alto out occasionally and getting my Charlie Parker on. To listen to? Lots, but the one I come back to most often is Ella Fitzgerald. Clichéd I know, but her voice is the aural equivalent of honey and I find it ridiculously soothing. |
