Maria Muldaur - Jazzabelle (1995)

Maria Muldaur has emerged as one of the top blues singers and there are a number of wonderful albums that she has out that explore different styles. Jazzabelle is more of a jazz album and I didn't enjoy it as much as her albums that are more oriented toward the blues. I am not a big fan of jazz anyway. In spite of that, I still have to give this a solid 5 stars. Whether you call it blues or jazz or a combination, Muldaur has the perfect voice and perfect delivery for either Jazz or Blues. She also seems to always have a good backup band, which always helps. If you like more of a jazz sound than a blues sound, I think you'll really like this album.
