Happy to see a new Rachel & Vilray. I dig that they are writing these 50s style jazz tunes today. Great duets. 

I've posted this artist before, very smooth voice and nice writing....just an easy and joyful listen.

I found this while searching for The Latin Jazz Quintet. One of Sherley's early recordings. 

Anja Huwe - Codes.  Ex-lead singer of Xmal Deutschland, always a good listen.  She left music for years, but in 2024 came out with a solo album.  Good mix of styles, German and English lyrics.  Enjoy it a fair bit!
