The implication, one supposes, is that some day you will also come to know Madeleine, Esperanza, Eliane, Tierney and Melody in the same way. Whether those contemporary women (surnames: Peyroux, Spalding, Elias, Sutton and Gardot) will ever command that level of instant recognition remains to be seen, but all of them\u2014and nine more\u2014demonstrate here how they\u2019ve each carved out a formidable place in today\u2019s jazz world. Brazil\u2019s Elias brings a near-gospel fervor to her take on Bob Marley\u2019s \u201cJammin\u2019,\u201d while Jane Monheit\u2019s orchestral \u201cOver the Rainbow\u201d is minimal and ethereal. Sutton experiments with time and space on \u201cHappy Days Are Here Again\u201d and Diana Krall\u2019s interpretation of Tom Waits\u2019 \u201cTemptation\u201d is slinky and cool. \u2013 Jeff Tamarkin<\/p>\n<div><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VARIOUS ARTISTS The New Jazz Divas [Shout!
