INGA the jazz singa!



About a year ago I discovered the lovely voice of jazz singer Inga Swearingen.  She has a lovely voice, wonderful control, and is a master at scat singing.  Inga is also a favorite of "Prairie Home Companion" host Garrison Keillor.

Here's her singing a lovely medley of "The Nearness of You/Misty."  The medley is based on an arrangement by vocalist Dianne Reeves.

The video was put together by a fan on youtube.



Also check out Inga's renditions of "Just in Time," "Stompin' at the Savoy," and a killer version of "Down By The Riverside!"
