Really? Wow. She is a very desirable woman. I respect her deeply. For her mind.

My favorite album of hers is "All For You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio".
I'm not sure if it's the minimalist type instruments, close microphone techniques for the piano or what but I just love the presence felt in listening to that recording. It's probably due as much to the recording guys as the artist since her other albums do not give me the same feel.

Whatever, man. That chick's blood is just above freezing.
Yes she is pretty, though.

We've got several of her CDs... have always loved her work. Thanks for the tip on the Nat King Cole Trio tribute, Rob... we'll have to pick that up.
Her rendition of "I've Got You Under My Skin" is killer... just killer.

She is the best. I saw her at the Santa Barbara Bowl years ago. Just a great singer.

I saw her last June at Jazz à Vienne in France. Her performance was less than inspired to put it mildly. She slept-walked through it. She mentioned that Elvis & her twins were esconced in a nearby hotel. The opening act - Avishai Cohen - was tremendous.
