Classic ladies of vocal jazz: Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Carmen McRae, and Betty Carter
Let's take a look back at five of the most influential female vocalists in jazz, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Carmen McRae, and Betty Carter. Each possesses a very different style and personality, and it's fascinating to explore how each approaches phrasing, storytelling, and mood. They have one thing in common, though...exceptional jazz artistry!
