CD Description
Putumayo's compilations, organized around catch-all themes of genre or nationality, are always enjoyably accessible, and WOMEN OF JAZZ is no exception. The set brings together 10 American female vocalists performing in the jazz idiom. Withthe exception of longstanding jazz/R&B legend Etta James, whose "Since I Fell for You" is one of the album highlights, WOMEN OF JAZZ focuses on modern day artists such as Hope Waits, Jennifer Hartswick, Madeleine Peyroux, and Cassandra Wilson. The result is a dazzling sampler of the contemporary vocal jazz scene.

Customer Reviews

Cool selection
I just heard this in a trendy cafe in Rome - even though it's not officially released. Despite being played loudly, we would theorectically have been able to talk. Instead we just sat back and enjoyed a great selection of cool female jazz with mellow rhythms. This will be playing in the foreground at our next party.
