Sorry, I was wrong about Sue Raney, who is no relation to Jimmy Raney. I got mixed up with her and guitarist Doug Raney who is Jimmy Raney's son.

Irene Krall. She was big time on the west coast jazz scene. With the Junior Mance Trio.

Hi Eric,
I'm a great fan of Anita but I still probably rate June Christy as the tops (that goes back to
about 1953 when I bought "The Misty Miss Christy" album and a little later "Something Cool".

When trawling through You Tube it is often as case of finding a clip that does justice to the artist. Many clips, especially the 'live' ones are so poor that they
do more harm than good.

Roberta Gambarini again here. IMO one of the better jazz singers around. Not a 'live' one, just a good example of her jazz artistry.
