Favourite Female Singers!

Recommended Posts

[quote name='Stingray5' post='466520' date='Apr 19 2009, 03:05 AM']+1 for Kate Bush

But, for me, the female singer (and songwriter) who still leaves everyone standing:
JONI MITCHELL
(bass players: mainly Jaco Pastorius, Larry Klein)

If you've not heard it, check out Big Yellow Taxi (2007) from the album 'Shine'

(comment on youtube: "...there is actually no guitar on this song.
All of the instruments you can hear come from the Yamaha Motif synthesiser
(including that driving guitar riff which is a patch called 'Latin Jam'...")

Many excellent femme vox mentioned above (though, imho, they still don't come close to Joni!)
But another fave of mine, not yet mentioned, is ANNIE LENNOX.
Various bass players including at times producer Stephen Lipson.

Well, of the famous ones, probably Diana Krall, Judith Owen, Belinda Carlisle & Jane Weidlin.

But my personal faves are one of the singers who works for me from time to time, Nicki Allan from Leeds (Have a listen to her at www.myspace.com/outtoplayjazz ) & Anita Wardell. Look up Anita on myspace or iTunes. Her scatting voice is something else! The bass player in both cases, from time to time has been me :)
