Why is the vocal jazz category here called "jazz vocalists"? This name leads to confusions and misunderstandings. The problem is that not all vocal jazz albums are credited to the vocalist... I just added a vocal jazz album under a pianist's name (it's his album, he plays the piano and wrote the compositions/arrangements), and now the subgenre assignations suggests he's a vocalist... From my knowledge this genre is widely recognized as "vocal jazz": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_jazz" rel="nofollow - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_jazz http://www.allmusic.com/explore/style/vocal-jazz-d4427" rel="nofollow - http://www.allmusic.com/explore/style/vocal-jazz-d4427 http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=18803" rel="nofollow - http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=18803 / http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=18726" rel="nofollow - http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=18726 |

 Edit: Not to say that "Jazz Vocalists" is wrong per se, but it has at least that one shortcoming that I mentioned. |

The plurality of the title is bothersome too  Nina Simone isn't a Jazz Vocalists
