Devorah Day, light of Day
She has been billed as an Avante garde jazz vocalist

all I know is that she can carry a tune and laugh after. Plus she is backed by some very serious musicians. Very enjoyable for the more adventurous, the anti Diana Krall.

Stuff like this you just can't buy...usually just a limited quantity is 'printed' out, and made available to college radio stations and a very small niche of music fans and/or fellow musicians. I got my copy via a radio station fund raiser.
