I’m not much for jazz vocals. Even the so-called classic singers everyone’s supposed to love like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughan don’t really do it for me. I saw Blossom Dearie live once, and it was fun -- like watching someone’s aunt sit down at the piano and sing a few songs, tell a few jokes -- but it wasn’t what I go to jazz clubs for. To me, jazz is an instrumental music first.
