What do you think: who is the best jazz-lady that ever walked on earth...


I think Billie

Is there anybody who has a passion for jazz, just like me???

Yes Stardust. I have a big BIG passion for Jazz music. I think Jazz is what got the ball truly moving something wild and new. Jazz is the heart beat of all music b/c you can find it in every genre. Jazz touches rock, soul, blues, blue grass, country, polka, pop, and anything else you can think of.

At college this year, I was inducted into the jazz band and I had a blast singing song after song that was a classic in the jazz world. Even though some people don't like her, I cannot help but think that Diana Krall is amazing and sexy as hell. Had I the chance to be her, I would cry. For a new artist, she has got just the touch to make the men swoon. And a voice? I had to sing The Look of Love for my jazz band and I just had to do it the way Diana did. I made all the boys putty in my hands. Lol.

Jazz, like I said, is a heart beat. While country may be the feet and pop may be the hands, or vice versa, nothing would exist without the heartbeat of jazz.

Bessie Smith was good...but would you call her Blues or Jazz?

I would call her both. The line between blues and jazz was sometimes so gray that you couldn't tell the diff. So, why not just say both?

Yeah I like Diana too... her voice is just soo :in love: !!
I sung her version of cry me a river once..but, the way she sings it...aaah...it makes me sooo jalous of her voice.
Bessie Smith is also one of my favourite!! I mean, she makes a song so beautiful. It's hard to tell weather it's jazz or blues...yeah maybe it's both..

I vote Nina Simone
Anw I love Diane Schuur. Do you know her?
Wow...she's great!!!

No I don't know Diana schuur, who is she? Never heard of her...is she good?
