LAL Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 After digging much music of Ella, Billie, Betty Carter, June Christy etc, I'm now ready to move on to contemporary (not necessarily young) vocalists. After some search, the name Kitty Margolis is stirring some interest. AMG rates her as a great talent who can improvise and scat. Are there any fans of this singer out there and what are your comments and/or criticisms? Which album to start with? Her album Evolution, which features Joe Henderson seems very interesting. I've done a search for a thread on her but couldn't find any. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 I'm embarrassed to say I don't have anything by her. She gets quite a bit of play on KCSM, our local jazz station, and every time I hear her, I swear I'm going to pick up some stuff, but as yet I haven't. I do recommend her, though! Can't help with album recommendations, obviously, but hopefully you can help me soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolution Left Coast Life Heart and Soul: Live In San Francisco Plus there're the reviews on AMG. Still, I still need some convincing on her albums (ok so I'm almost there with Evolution).

Jazzmoose Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 In case anyone's interested, KCSM (link to website for non-Bay Area listeners!) Sunday night (December 12) at 8PM Pacific time, there will be a one hour broadcast of a live Kitty Margolis performance on Sunday Night Suites with Bud Spangler!
