Can anyone recommend me songs in the style of Ella Fitzgeralds Misty? I’m talking about songs that have a jazzy smooth style and are centered around the piano.

Actually it doesn’t have to be particuarly smooth but any sad or “longing” songs with the piano as the main instrument?

_Why Should I Care_ by the beautiful and very talented Diana Krall.

In fact, _anything_ by Ms. Krall might fit your tastes.

Enjoy

Thank you Quasi.  
I have heard of her name but I’m not familliar with her music so I shall make myself so. Any others? It really doesn’t matter what era they’ve come from.
