I'd like to hear Chris record:
Stranger in Paradise
BaĆ*a
How Little We Know (the Carmichael song)
Old Cape Cod
Yesterdays
Twilight on the Trail
Don't laugh at my Twilight choice. In fact, I think Chris would be more interesting on folk revival songs than on pop standards -- stuff like Turtle Dove. She stylizes her vocal more in the English folk song way than in the jazz or big band way.

Chris is probably a competent classical pianist--no more, no less. She possesses the right amount of chops for blues and rock. But given that she only studied seriously into her early teens, she is probably not exceptional (nor below par) with the classical repertoire.
I agree that Christine can and does adhere quite well to the folk song genre. But I think she could probably do some amazing work with the American songbook.
