Those of you who like older jazz with female vocals, please check out this album: Renee Olstead

Very good recording and a maturity in the voice that doesn't match the look.
There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    alrighty, I came late on this one, but yes! she is great!

    So young and so yummy, 'nuff said! Btw, the band was full of the who's who in jazz: Brian Bromberg, John Clayton, Jeff Hamilton....

    How DID I miss the memo?
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    She's 16 years old? Singing old jazz standards? WOW!

    Not only does she not sound like she is 16, she looks older than 16, at least on stage. She appeared with Chris Botti on a PBS live concert special.
