Dear Colin,
I believe the female jazz singer you have in mind is Simone Kopmajer.
Simone Kopmajer
"...young singer from Austria, whose US debut in the year 2000 was
hailed as "captivating?. Jazz legend Ira Sullivan calls her ?a great
young talent? with a big future in Jazz.
Simone, now 22 years old, grew up in a family of musicians and started
to sing, in her father's band when she was 12. (...) As a young
performer, she twice toured the Netherlands with the ?Euro Big Band?
and later appeared in several International Jazz Festivals."
"Influenced by some of the great American vocalists, Frank Sinatra,
Ella Fitzgerald, and Jon Hendricks, Simone has developed into a true
Jazzsinger, a singer who uses a wide variety of rhythms and excels in
her very individual style of scatting. Laurie Antonioli says that
?Simone is an excellent musician, with soulful and hip improvising.
She digs in and isn't afraid to take risks with the music?.
(...)
"Simone Kopmajer has performed with Jazz Greats such as Ira Sullivan,
Richie Cole, Turk Mauro, Gerorge Mraz, Christian Mc Bride, Larry
Coryell, Allan Harris, Eric Alexander, John di Martino, Hans
Glawischnig and others."
