Modern day female jazz recommendations

We all know the classics from decades ago. What are your favorite your more contemporary female jazz singers of today?

Living close to Nashville I have the opportunity to see and hear a lot of up and coming artists. Nashville is NOT just country music by a long shot.

I'll start with Diana Krall....

I recommend Mina Agossi, the NOT wannabee like somebody else. You may want to try the "Simple Things" cd with her vocal interpretations of Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix songs

Roberta Gambarini,, has a vocal range and tonal purity that will remind you of Ella! Simply the best contemporary female jazz singer of a generation..

Been giving Sunny Sumter another spin as I found her first CD and then went back to her Larry Willis produced Mappleshade.
