There are actually two tracks on this album that meet the criteria - and at 23m this is the short one!

A lot of Joni fans don’t rate this album - Don Juan's Reckless Daughter - but I do.

I like it also quite much, although I am not the biggest Joni-fan.

Leger de Main was a Rush-influenced trio formed by the Rodler brothers (Chris on all guitars and bass, Brett on drums) and lead vocalist Melissa Blair.

They recorded only two albums. "Enter Quietly" is from their first album, The Concept of Our Reality.

It plays as one uninterrupted track on the CD.

Hi,

Joni was a tough one for a lot of stations in those days ... too jazzy to be "cool" and "hip" and not stony enough to be "with it" ... but listening to it these days, one has to consider her "progressive" since almost no one was doing anything remotely as interesting and different within what sometimes might be considered folk material ... with a jazz'y feel that was very different. 

This is a superb album that deserves more mentions and attention, if it were not for the fact that we are too much into a "sound", and not the music itself. This is much better than the copykat/cookie cutter material that has the mandated instruments and sounds like ..... 

BTW ... consider the musicians on it ... makes a lot of our top anything ... not even interesting!!!!

Joni Mitchell
Jaco Pastorius
John Guerin
Wayne Shorter
Airto Moreira
Larry Carlton
... and on backing vocals in various pieces ... Chack Khan, Glenn Frey, J. D. Souther

11 minutes 'only', but pretty epic and very unique female vocals.

Yeah, we agree on this. And I do wonder sometimes if the adverse reaction of some critics to this record had something to do with the record being by a woman - getting too far out of step with what was perceived as “proper” for a female artist to do. As though breaking rules and expectations was a male province.

I don't know if you are familiar with the other Maurin brothers projects, but if not I recommend checking out the first album by Thork, Urdoxa, and the two Syrinx albums (as well as the earlier Nil album Quarante Jours Sur Le Sinaï).

^ Clap Simon, I thought about bringing this up since Nil was mentioned, both Syrinx and Thork projects are just as good. From Thork I especially like Weila and from Syrinx it's Qualia, amazing albums.

Would like to know what the OP took from these great suggestions. So many fine choices for sure.
When I think of ‘Female fronted Prog’, my initial thoughts veer towards Renaissance, Jefferson Airplane, Curved Air, Spirogyra, and my faves - Magenta. And then some.

At 11 minutes, Android Domina by Japanese prog chicks Ars Nova may be little short, however length may prove irrelevant. Wink

Another thing that will suite perfectly is Carol Of Harvest main piece from their excellent only album.


There's also Circle Of Illusion, they have also a male vocalist here but I think it's the female that takes the spotlight, you can decide if it works for you.


I'm not a big fan of Magenta but I know this song just 15 seconds short of 15 minutes. Go to 49:30 on the video


and this I found searching for their first song Wink


Pretty much stole all my suggestions

Aleena Gibson of Kaipa is my favorite female vocalist. Is that okay?

You people are on it: Renaissance and Vak and Joni and Nil and "Tenemos" and Kate and Gilli--you're definitely covering some of my favorites.


There must be something to add with Anneke Van Giersbergen or Amy Darby or Pascale Son.


Here's one:
