jazz goddess

You've probably heard about Mishka Adams by now. She's beautiful, but she has an even more incredible voice. She's had tv guestings and the like, so it's impossible not to know her. But for those who are familiar with the underground music scene, she's not really a newbie. She's also an artist, and Mishka made the masks featured in the Razorback album cover (a replica of the band members' faces, and back when David Aguirre was still in the Philippines *sigh*).

Anyway I really love Mishka Adams. Add the fact that in her band, Blue Echoes, Coyang is on guitars. He's an unbelievable guitarist --- he's great but he knows moderation and only does these amazing solos when the music calls for it. Mishka reminds me of Ella Fitzgerald, also one of my favorites. These jazz musicians put a lot of heart into their music, unlike most modern-day crap we hear on the radio. And jazz artists are so sensual (like blues artists, hehehe).
