Listening to Diana Krall's latest CD 'Quiet Nights'.
It has a little of everything, pop, bossa nova, jazz.....it's nice.
Fav track is her rendition of 'Guess I'll Hang My Tears out to Dry'.

Linda Ronstadt had a great cover of that same tune awhile back.

Linda Ronstadt - Guess I'll Hang my Tears out to Dry
She did some great stuff with Nelson Riddle. Here's a 'live version' not as good quality as the copy I have but it gives you an idea.....the girl has some pipes.

Linda covers 'What's New' great also. It's the very next UTube clip.

I like my music to have a bit more of an edge such as from Jazzanova or Kruder & Dorfmeister.

My wife always wanted to do the young guitarist in this:

We only saw him 3x playing with Healey...not sure who he is.

Eliane Elias- baubles bangles and beads

Eliane Elias is kinda like a Diana Krall of Bossa Nova.

So Nice - Sergio Mendes and Brasil '65
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYyYiO_UGTs&feature=related


Look of Love - Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSlnRwxed9c&feature=related



Mas Que Nada - Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 ( followed BEP's version )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9QM6Bah2fk&feature=related
Some would say this is the track that made him famous back then, not the Look of Love.

Here is the original version by Jorge Benjor, who composed it.
Mais Que Nada
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDlVZNfxVtE&feature=related


Taj Mahal ( Live version) - Jorge Benjor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M-bZ1tbHw8&feature=related
His other big track, more on the funkier/disco side.

Taj Mahal ( his original LP version from the 70s )

Outstanding album

Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 - Greatest Hits
Bought this vinyl LP back in the 60s. It's timeless and still played at times on radio. Believe a young Laura Fygi was on that album singing hit songs, Mais Que Nada, So Many Stars and Like a Lover. Laura Fygi today, still has a fantastic voice.

Copied it to audio cassette, then later to CD and still listen to it....

Wave has always been a Jobim fav of mine.

Here Elis does a great cover:

Elis Regina - Wave

Great Jobim tune:
Gal Costa e Elis Regina - Estrada do Sol

Just heard this on the radio:
Cris Delanno Sings "Odara" from Caetano Veloso

Jane Monheit has always been a fav on mine.....great voice.
She does these two songs nicely.
Always like the way she covers Joni Mitchell's tune 'Twisted'.

Jane Monheit - I Wish You Love / Twisted

Always liked Stacey Kent along with this Vinicius de Moraes

Its all in my hands - Tania Maria
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9L1V9HGhGE&feature=related
A very well known Brazilian Jazz singer/pianist. It's a good one but Not my fav from her.


Don't go ( studio version ) - Tania Maria
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG1xu1hvIX4&feature=related
This is my fav. Came across her jazz fest footage while channel surfing back in 1993/94 late one night in Toronto, totally captured by the song and her performance. Had to go to HMV the next day to get her CD. Yes , I wanted it that bad LOL.

Carla Cook

The late Sam Cook's daughter can sing and she has a great combo backing her.

Here's a couple favs with a Bossa Nova flavor, where she's cookin' .....

Carla Cook - Can This Be Love

Carla Cook - Like a Lover, great cover on this Sergio Mendes classic, IMHO the best cover to date.


She covers Marvin Gay pretty good to, with a little scat thrown in:
Carla Cook - Inner City Blues
