Tom - Jobim4me here -- I adore Sloane and what a thrill to see this video. Is it part of a PBS special she did with Rowles? Like to see more if there is. Brian

[JazzVocalFan]

Brian, I believe it was part of a PBS show in New Orleans. I have a very busy & diverse music activity schedule; but hopefully to free up some time in the next few weeks to select, convert (VHS to DVD to AVI) and upload some more of the songs to YouTube. Glad you enjoyed it, Tom Pierce

Sloane is just the best there is! Thanks so much for this heavenly clip!

[JazzVocalFan]

Allen, You're welcome. I fully agree with you & am glad I've gotten to know her personally & see her quite a few times live the the past 7 years, through the Songbirds Internet group. Tom Pierce.

Thanks so much for uploading this. This is the first time I've ever seen her sing and I've admired her based on her recordings for close to 20 years.

I'm happy another big "Sloane" fan has already enjoyed this video I posted.  Tom Pierce (JazzVocalfan)

Superb. I love her meditative expression. I had never heard of this singer before; thanks to Mark Myers from the lovely JazzWax site, I'm now familiar with her. Thanks very much, Mark, and another big thanks to the uploader of this gem.

Feel free to drop by my jazz & swing blog, if you like. Link is in my profile. See you there.

Peace & All best,

Piano comping is unbelievable.

I saw Sloanie at the North Sea Jazz Fest in 2000, and when she sang "Serenade in Blue," you could hear a pin drop. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Amazing vocals and one of the best kept secrets in the jazz world.

Thousands fo stars. Great singers a capella or with Rawls,

she's marvelous.

[ratsafrat]

How many singers would dare to sing a whole song a cappella? Just lovely!

[Rickriquinho]

What a class! Forget fake jazz singers and listen to Sloane.

[loulou2lou]

Her style and voice reminds me somewhat of "Sassy".

[cmpblue]

Extraordinary voice. I could listen to her for days on end and never tire.
