I've always had a strong penchant for this type of music, specifically from the 30s & 40s. (Now I know why, right?

)

I'm specifically fond of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Bunny Berigan, & Lena Horne. The best modern I've heard of that echoes this era of music is, obviously, Harry Connick Jr. So, anyone else care for this type of music/these artists?

I like many of the same..in fact Lena Horne just went off on the satellite radio behind me. I would have to say that Ella Fitzgerald has an exquisite voice. She is my favorite of all of the artists that I have heard. As for Harry Connick Jr..his voice could melt butter.
