I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah


I've listened to so much Norah Jones and Diana Krall in the last month I feel like I know the personally. I'm ready to get hooked on a new sultry lady but I need some good suggestions.

A bit of a throwback style-wise, but Alex Pangman sings great. Kind of a retro swing thing. Her first album "They Say..." is very good, and she recorded it at quite a young age.
Ella by a wide margin, simply the best: perfect diction, impeccable timing, subtle "bending' of tunes; purity of timber, great swing, ... I could go on ...and on. Next on my list would be Billie followed by Sarah (Sarah had great range and style but I prefer the more direct style of Ella). In terms of the present cast of singers, I like: the sultry Cassandra Wilson; Shirley Horn; Reeves; Krall (earlier albums only, "When I look in your eyes" and "Loves Scenes"); Jacintha (has a nice voice but is a little cool)
Well it is not so jazzy, however if you have not heard Animal Logic than it is highly suggested. This album features Stanley Clark and Stewart Copland.
Meech33,

Another suggestion for you: Jane Monheit "Never Never Land" & "Come Dream With Me".

FWIW.
