1. Kiri te Kanawa soprano

1. Kiri te Kanawa Pretty sure she's a soprano.
2. Sherrill Milnes Dunno if he's a baritone or bass....pretty sure he's not a tenor. I'll go bass.
3. Placido Domingo Well, there we go. One of the Three Tenors.
4. Joan Sutherland If I answer "soprano" to all the women, I'm sure to get at least one right. Soprano.
5. Beverly Sills See above. Soprano.

Jazz Albums For each album title, identify the musician. Choose from this list: Miles Davis, Buddy Rich, Charlie Parker, George Benson, Joe Satriani, Gato Barbieri, Stan Kenton, Dave Brubeck, and Weather Report.

6. Bitches Brew Low hanging fruit....Miles Davis.
7. New Concepts of Artistry in Rhythm Um...Never heard of it. Weather Report.
8. I Sing the Body Electric Never heard of it, part deux. Gato Barbieri.
9. Take 5 Low haging fruit, again. Dave Brubeck.
10. Stick it A SWAG, at least. Sticks leads me to drummers, which leads me to Buddy Rich.

14. Igor Stravinsky Modern, if early 20th C. fits that designation.
