She might be the most underrated jazz musician working today.

I don't know if anybody here like Paavo or Fire! Orchestra but Sofia Jernberg who sings in both units took her style DIRECTLY from Norma here. It's uncanny. Wonderful style of singing. Fantastic album.

Never heard Brubeck's Lullabies, I might peep it after hearing this though. Sounds like great calming background music I could use for work.

Found a singer recently, Paule Desjardins, that has a lot of musics that sound like this, or a bit like this, and have a very soothing effect, in particular from the album Mademoiselle de Paris, came to the forum looking for an answer, et voilà, I imagine they are called lullabies.
One is Bien Trop Belle and the medleys La Seine/ Le Gamin de Paris, En avril à Paris/ I love Paris.
Strut and Art Yard present the culmination of a 5-year project researching the archives of author, DJ and activist John Sinclair with the first ever retrospective of the influential Detroit Artists Workshop spanning 1965 to 1978.
“In the mid-‘60s, Detroit was nowhere,” explains Sinclair. “A decaying jazz scene, no community of poets, painters or writers so a group of young Detroit artists, most of us students at Wayne State University, got together in the late Summer of 1964.” Led by Sinclair and trumpeter Charles Moore, the Artists Workshop Society was formed as a co-operative community, drawing upon the resources of every participating individual in order to perpetuate itself. They began to provide spaces in Detroit for musicians to rehearse and to promote live concerts showcasing a range progressive jazz artists across the city.
Between the mid-‘60s and the early ‘80s, Sinclair amassed a huge archive of recordings from the Workshop concerts featuring Detroit residents like Moore’s Contemporary 5, Ron English and Lyman Woodard alongside many other US jazz luminaries including Donald Byrd, Sun Ra Arkestra and Herbie Hancock. Dormant in the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Brooklyn for many years, Strut and Art Yard began their research into the archives in 2017.
This first compilation of Detroit Artists Workshop is a revelation for any fan of jazz, featuring previously unreleased recordings by Byrd, Moore, English, Woodard, Bennie Maupin and Teddy Harris accompanied by extensive sleeve notes from John Sinclair, Robin Eichele and Herb Boyd. All tracks are remastered from the original tapes by Technology Works.
