    glad you are getting into this era. Ella and louis duets is such a fun avenue to drive down. You will love it. There are a bunch you will of course hear of billy holiday and her distinctive voice. Her singing ' strange fruit' is devastating, crushing, timely. But others less known: etta james, dee bridgewater, lena horn, with nina simone for a unique sound and attitude. Ps ella can swing and known for her incredible ' scat' singing)
    for male monday. Oh, do you have that? Try after louis: johnny hartman (a crooner) nate king cole and maybe joe williams or chet baker (he is more known for his bluesy trumpet)
