modern jazz/ swing

[boyo bach]

I love Paul Anka's Rock Swings, and also am a fan of Michael Buble and Jamie Cullum. Does anyone know of any other artists that sing jazz/swing versions of modern songs especially? Or an album of a jazz/swing take on modern songs? Many thanks.

I like this question. It's challenged me! Look up Gwyneth Herbert. She duets with Jamie Cullum on her firts album First Songs. She does Jazz, Bacharach, Neil Young, Tom Waits, and an amzing cover of Portishead's Glorybox. Also check out Jimmy Scott's (old jazz/blues singer who sounds like a woman due to a hormonal problem, but has a beautiful voice) last album Holding Back The Years. It's beautiful, haunting stuff. Hope that helps a bit. If I think of anything else I'll let you know.

Also Clare Teal and Stacey Kent sing Jazz/swing style stuff.
