Six of the Best - Highlights of the Starbucks International Jazz Festival: Norah Jones has been warned to watch out. Because the evocative vocals of Nashville's Suzahn Fiering means she's in a prime position to challenge the princess of sultry for her crown. An accomplished composer and guitarist, Suzahn's writing style is influenced by by blues, R&B, and pop - although the trad jazz runs throughout like molten steel and she can scatt with the best of them. With multiple performances, you've got no excuse not to find the time to go and see one of jazz's young Turks singing songs from her new album. The Birmingham Post, Birmingham England July '05

Scene and Heard, UK June '05
