Hes beyond amazing. He has mastered his tone and pitch and phrasing in ways that is I'd say unmatched in modern jazz singing.

How bout a Bobby Mcferrin Kurt Elling album...both of them on vocals and both their vocals for all the instruments.

singers who imitate billy holiday,,,,please noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo one was enough !!!!!!

[@bluesmama5]

Billie

[@jillsalkin7389]

What? He's not imitating Billie! In a master class from 2019, he talks about taking from the masters, and adding your own thing. He's done that.
