Those walking bass lines, swinging rhythms and hipster vocalizing. No wonder Time magazine dubbed Rickie Lee Jones "The Duchess of Coolsville."
One of pop music's true originals, Jones has always been jazz-adjacent.
Her 1979 eponymous debut had shades of bohemian jazz. In 1991, on her "Pop Pop" covers album, she offered a couple of jazz standards like "I'll Be Seeing You." And she's since dropped other classics like "My Funny Valentine" into her recorded and concert repertoire.
