Here is one of my web log entries, perhaps from my Yakkity Yak page, What's New page, or one of my Astounding Adventures from my Geocaching section: In Which I Learn of Yet Another Excellent Jazz Diva: Sophie Milman

Curse those free Amazon.com downloads! It's all Amazon's fault that I first encountered Sophie Milman when I ran across her MP3 track So Long, You Fool as a free download. I'm a Jane Monheit fan, and enjoy Madeleine Peyroux too—and I think Norah Jones shares some slight overlap with these ladies as well—so the chance to download a free MP3 from a female jazz vocalist I'd never heard of before was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.
So why am I cursing? She's good! That meant I just had to purchase a few other tracks. So I curse that in finding a new jazz vocalist I like, my pocketbook is a bit lighter. *grin* All in all, I've now got three of her songs in my iTunes library:
In googling the 'net a bit, I ran across this 2006 Jazz Monthly interview with Sophie Milman (at least I think it's from 2006—I couldn't find a date anywhere other than a copyright year). I look forward to more music from this young, talented Russian-born Canadian jazz vocalist. Monday, 03 March 2008 UPDATE: I'm now the happy owner of two of Sophie's CDs, her self-titled album Sophie Milman, and her latest album, Make Someone Happy. I like many of the tracks, though there a few arrangments I don't care for. Overall these two CDs (now a part of my iTunes library and added to my vehicle's CD player for playback rotation while I drive) make me happy. | |
