I've been hearing her name a lot, but I found her voice to be grating when I listened to the clip. Although I don't listen to many vocalists, I was blown away by Cecile McLorin Salvant at the Detroit Jazz Festival. Her range, tone, phrasing and charisma really made an impression on me.

Ella doesn't make my top 5.

to each his own--would you favor us with your fab 5?

In no particular order: Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Carmen McRae, Anita O'Day ... and a rotating fifth chair currently held by Jeanne Lee (other occupants have included Lee Wiley & Mildred Bailey, but never Sarah Vaughan).
