A good singer/pianist to learn from?
on: December 31, 2013, 02:44:16 PM
Hello guys,
I'm new to this forum, and would be happy to receive help.

I'm a pianist/singer and write songs. In order to get better at accompanying myself with the piano, I would like to listen to good artists who already do it, preferable jazz oriented. But if I listen to Ray Charles or Ella Fitzgerald, there are alwyas bass players in their bands, and I would like to listen to someone who only sings and plays the piano.
I would prefer someone who plays in a more sophisticated way than Elton John, for example.
Do you have some artists to reccomend?

Thanks in advance and sorry about my English,
Omer

In my sort of humble opinion, you can't go wrong with Joni Mitchell.
