I agree about Peggy Lee, but have to admit I haven't investigated her
work as much as I should have done.
Kay Starr, like Marie Bryant, exudes jazz as soon as she open her mouth.
I don't hear that with Ella. I see that as we've moved onto popular
singers, I don't consider Ella as anything more than a studio
professional. There's never an element of surprise in her work.
