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.

there was an interview where she said she liked to sight read to keep her chops up and said she plow through mozart ... i'm pretty sure i heard that too

and btw... i do bach's minuet in Gmajor Animato thank you very much (well one of them).. and a musette occasionally... (did i spell all that correctly?)
