My wife knows her. They met when she was working as the sound engineer at a supper club in Hollywood, FL and Natalie was brought down from New York to perform. Natalie was very impressed with how Sue made the band sound and they became fast friends. When we visited New York several years ago we caught her show somewhere in the Village. She definitely comes out of the cabaret tradition more than jazz/blues but I'd say that jazz & blues are much more prominent in her voice than the vast majority of cabaret singers. I shared one of her recordings with Jim S., maybe he'll jump in and say more. I know he digged her.

Anyone ever watch the show "Cash Cab", where this cab in New York picks up pedestrians and asks them trivia questions for cash? Late last summer they were on it, Natalie and her husband/manager, Billy Joe I think is his name, and they kicked ass. Didn't need any of the "lifelines" and walked away with like $800 or a thousand bucks.

Seeing her live, I saw that she has excellent microphone technique, bringing it close for intimate songs and holding it at just the right distance when she dials up the power to keep everything sounding good.
