Jazz Singers

Links to web sites on jazz singers

Below are links to web sites on jazz singers. I have tried to note the sponsor of the site (e.g. label, fan or other) and the type of information you might find there, such as biographical information, audio clips, discographies or tour dates. In general, I have not included sites which were little more than advertisements of an artist's CD, with no further information. I will attempt to revise and update this on a regular basis.
