It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: not real jazz?

I was referring to so called jazz female singers. All the musicians you mentioned are jazzman, in actual fact I would nearly call them the "Avant garde"
But when it comes to singers these days most of them are just singers maybe backed by a jazz rhythm section, or singing jazz song, or mixing styles
So few have real jazz abilities. This proliferation of so called jazz singers is may due to the popularity of Diana Krall a decade or so ago.
I love singers but I love jazz thus the ones I enjoy are the jazz singers.
There is a forum dedicated to jazz singers called "Songbirds" and they have a very good description of today’s so called jazz singers, they call them "jazettes" which is cute and to the point.
