So...does anyone exist, in this "post-punk-rock" generation, who is/are capable of an equivalent level of musical ability...?!
I tend to think not...?!?!
If you don't mind going outside the US, Cheikh Lo has a great singing voice. However, there is nothing like the range of work of Ella or Sinatra - he spent most of his career as a studio session musician. There are only 3 or 4 albums so far.
But worth hearing, especially the album "Bambay Gueej".
I am very unimpressed by the current crop of "jazz singers".
