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....

Would that be Stacey Kent? One of my favorites. Incidently, Stacey is in NYC at Birdland June 2-6.

Anyone mention Norah Jones...great voice. Her first record, "Come away with me" is a tour de force by the recording studio. I also want to say how much Shirley Horn will be missed...Here's to Life... here's to Shirley....

Forgot to mention Carrol Kidd in last post here.I like a lot of Tracey Kent and her husband tenor man Jim Tomlinson usually backs her and she shows up on his CD's-very Prez/Zoot/Harry Allen line of as opposed to Webster/Hawkins lineage).Roberta Gambrini is fine Italian singer.But right now I think Dee Dee Bridgewater and Diane Reeves are the top singers.

Same comment again - it is Stacey Kent, not Tracey Kent. Agree - Stacey and Jim are a geat combo.
