She's a french vocalist, beautiful voice, otherworldly scatt skills. I used to go see her sing in Paris, she moved out to NYC and I thought she would be big by then but I guess she still has the time to success.

Glasper of course..

I'm a big Saunders Sermons fan also...he's a very versatile dude vocally and as a trombone player..... Jeff Bradshaw also..

and of course Mario Biondi is one of my favorites also.

lot of Jazz artists are doing well right now...selling records..touring..

him and Glasper are the only new guys I really know much about. And Trombone Shorty comes up, I guess.

But I spose if they're "coming up", they've made it by current jazz standards, right?

so, i'm not sure he belongs in this convo.

Glasper definitely doesn't belong in this conversation, because he has essentially crossed over to that point that many of his fans are not typical jazz fans.

I guess I didn't read the whole thing
