I can't think of the specific songs because I was on YouTube, listening to entire albums at once, but I'm sure others would know some by Steeleye Span... I could be wrong, it's been a while, and the YouTube History isn't very good.

There are more parts of slow, jazzy (chords and the great jazzy solo/noodling by Peter Banks) than there is aggressive parts, which I think is only on the track where Phil Collins plays, but it's not that aggressive and the tempo is never that fast.


Thanks for reminding me about Empire - I vaguely remember hearing about them back in the day but seeing as their recordings weren't released until around 20 years later they had slipped under my radar... till now that is.

A great find.

What about the Klaatu cover by Carpenters, the calm voice of Karen andre jazz fender Rhodes by Richard.

I liked the first album, but the second the drums come in, it's quite active and not slow-tempo at all, but I'll YouTube Flora Purim, and saw on Wikipedia she's guested on a lot of things.

I love her vocals on the song "Return to Forever" - the vocables, which is another great sing about 70s prog-rock -- melodies and singing wonderfully without words as an instrument ala Clare Torrey on "The Great Gig In The Sky"..
not the biggest fan of the vocal belting in The Great Gig in the Sky... but I generally agree with the wordless vocals comment. I've got tons of jazzy wordless singing from 1970's Soundtracks and Library Music albums. I've tried to find every score featuring the wonderful Edda Dell'Orso. But that's rarely full albums of her on every track, and often she's just featured on a couple of songs. Primavera feature Edda on all the song though (the first ten seconds is an annoying intro that's not part of the actual track), so try and find it if you enjoy this. 


And this is a compilation I got from various soundtracks (featuring jazzy scats, plenty of sensual singing, some plain lovely, others with a lot of suspense etc... all magnificent)


-the timestamps here are useless, but I discovered this song here. Absolute perfection imo:


-anyway, if you're only looking for album reccomendations where all songs are exactly like you want it, you're gonna miss out on a lot of great and relevant music. Nothing I've heard by Flora Purim outside of RTF/Corea comes close as far as I know. Her voice is nothing spectacular really, but it's just the perfect fit for those two albums.

Also Joni Mitchell - Hejira

This is her azzy album from the 70's. Some songs have the great Jaco Pastorius on bass guitar.

I know the cover is a guy, but there's only a woman on vocals and you can start hearing this angel at 1:48.

You could also try the undeservedly obscure jazz flutist/singer/composer Kathryn Moses. She only sings occasionally, but when she does it's lovely (her second album, Music in My Heart is also worth checking out):

I just listened to Cortex - Tropeau Bleu.... Very, very nice. Thank you! I'll check out Kathryn Moses after I peruse some more Cortex.

I know it's out of the time frame you've indicated, but how 'bout 16-year old Whitney Houston on Bill Laswelll's 1987 Material album, One Down?
