As Jessye Norman turns 70 she now sings only jazz, blues and folk - TopicsExpress



          

As Jessye Norman turns 70 she now sings only jazz, blues and folk ballads, and in the contralto range she is most at home in. I think back to her Ariadne, Sieglinde, Dido, and a few concerts I saw in the 80s and 90s, and remember that great soaring arc of sound that could swallow the entire theater and a range that went seemlessly from high soprano down to an earthy contralto with no break. We should all feel privileged to live in the era of La Norman. Here she is 2 nights ago on David Letterman proving that the spirits of Odetta and Pete Seeger do live on. https://youtube/watch?v=D7rkTYFN6h8
