The New Jazz Divas celebrates the best contemporary jazz singers. While they certainly owe a debt to the women who came before including legends such as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn, the artists featured on the first "Discover Songs" compilation are some of the best and most interesting talents in jazz today. From the the wonderful vocals of NPR favorites Madeleine Peyroux and Diana Krall to the piano stylings of Eliane Elias and Patricia Barber - the contemporary ladies of jazz shine on this new disc.
