Jessica Pilnas: Norma Deloris Egstrom – A Tribute To Peggy Lee

Cheryl Bentyne Sings the Winners
by C. Michael Bailey
It is not so hard to sing jazz music, at least, if such is measured by the glut, deluge, plethora or superabundance of jazz vocal recordings released each season.

Anna Estrada: Volando
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Vocalist Anna Estrada's Volando can be comfortably shelved in the Latin Jazz section of your record library, but Estrada herself more fancifully--and more accurately-- describes it as an exercise in crossing borders. Given the record's title ("volando" means “flying"), it's perhaps more a matter of flying over those boundaries. There are at least four such frontiers ...

Imagine our luck that a significant recording has been overlooked, one that appeals directly to Evingson's Scandinavian heritage: 2006's Stockholm ...
