I have a Karen Matheson album called down river, Connie Dover is nice, we have her on a compilation.
I like Flora Purim, the Brazilian singer, also Cesaria Evoria.
as for Jazz singers, Billy Holiday is beautiful... and Astid Gilberto-
you know Cesaria Evora?? Isn't she wonderful. Do you know the story of how she was discovered? If not, I'd be happy to share.

i would say that i like joss stone and norah jones-
they are both great. Norah Jones has a great DVD where she's playing with a real country edge. Her half sister is a sensational musician.

brilliant ... i always love anything with a Pakhavaj
the sitar sound starts to blend into the background if you listen to it for long enough -
I once mixed a concert of North Indian and South Indian Music, I studied North Indian Light Classical with Ashok Roy, a student of Ali Akhbar Khan. I've played with lots of tabla players
-
you mixed the concert??
-
yeah, my ears are good, it was for the Australian Institute of Eastern Music, I'm not sure how I ended up doing it, but the Southies had a clay pot player, from memory I think it was Ghatam.
I was studying with Ashok, and I was asked to join his band, they ended up playing at Womadelaide a few times. It was too hard to co-ordinate because I had a young family. I was using a mad tuning B F# B F# B F natural -

I love Imogen Heap -
I agree about Loreena McKennitt, she's wonderful.
How about Annie Haslam from the band Renaissance? She's got a marvelous voice, too-- very haunting.
I also like Katherine Whelan from the Squirrel Nut Zippers-- sounds quite a bit like Billie Holiday. -
OK - Tori Amos - she does it for me. -
I love Madeleine Peyroux. If you like jazz and blues, she is excellent. -
