Where to start. Looking at the ones shown here I still see mostly faces and voices from the past. I look constantly for new talent and I often find it coming out of S. Korea or some other oriental country. Like Yao Si Ting, and what Youn Sun Nah does in her live video from 'Théâtre du Châtelet' in the songs "Ghost Riders in the Sky" and "Calypso Blues", should be made Illegal, but all fun aside though she uses a certain amount of electronic wizardry, her voice is nearly unmatchable. Then for slightly older but still respectable names, there is Melody Gardot and Sarah McKenzie among so many others.
If you check out AllAboutJazz.com and Bestofjazz.org you can keep up to the minute on everything that is coming about and everything you have missed along the way.
Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...
Most of my listeing is female vocals and classic Jazz. I have enjoyed current and older female singers. I have most of Billie Holiday through current Diana Krall and Julia Fordham. I enjoy good voices mainly acoustic. It would be helpful if it is music I can sample online. If the backing is mainly loud elctronic I would likely pass. Thanks for your thoughts and experience.
