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....

Kellye Gray.

A rather obscure voice out of Austin. Try her 'Standards in Gray'. I stumbled upon this CD in a used bin and have enjoyed it countless times. You will not be disappointed.
All great recommendations...some I have not heard of but will pursue....PLEASE keep them coming.
Terrific thread going on over at Asylum on this very same subject. Some tremendous recommendations.
