Anybody heard any good albums by this gal? Apparently she plays jazz and her voice and recordings are great. I've never heard of her, anybody have a good album by her to recommend? Anybody even heard of her?

    Jill has a beautiful voice. I just don't care for the style of music. Check out her "Collaborations" CD for a couple of jazz cuts where her talent truly shines, IMO.

    What planet do you live on again?

    I would start with "Who is Jill Scott...Volume 1" and go from there. I agree with Early, for some reason, as her collaborations show more versatility when amongst other artists.

    Don't feel bad, treitz. I just "discovered" Sarah McLachlan.:o She has one of the best voices I've ever heard.

    Yep. I never had any interest in Sarah's type of music...until recently. As I get older and more into this hobby, my music preferences are changing dramatically. Now I own a couple of country CDs.:eek:

    You are clearly going to the dark side.

    Would you consider the bass heavy on the recordings [JS]? Any other suggestions?

    Early, call me sometime. I've got many of her [SMcG] albums. What do you want to know?

    I don't know. I don't own any of her CDs.

    Will do, although I'm good on Sarah. I have two of her CDs, and that's enough.
