Hi David:
I have Eileen Farrell's "Arias in the Great Tradition" and "I've got a Right to Sing the Blues" and I play those for students to hear fabulously successful crossover. She's stunning. I didn't realize she had recorded a whole bunch of new jazz albums as recently as the 90's. has anyone heard any of it? Whiel I was searching for biographical info on her, she came up on a bunch of jazz sites where her bio didn't even mention her classical singing career at all!
Christine is right about Ms. Flemming though, she was even invited to tour with a reknowned jazz band as vocalist.
Best,
Laura Sharp
