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....

And now for the change-up, Ingrid Lucia and the Flying Neutrinos' "Hotel Child". You will love this cd. Trust me.

Sorry-of course it is Stacey Kent.

BTW, Melody Gardot's second album is out-very good! A complete musician at a very young age!

Allison Krause should deserve some mention; though more country style; but her voice fits in with many of the others suggested. I enjoy her solo album more than her Grammy duet "The Letter" that came out last year. Because of this thread; I've gone out and purchased many of the CD's recommended; many thanks to the 'Gon community for a great post; I am now enjoying artists I might never have heard of..I am enjoying Stacey Kent; Shirley Horn; Price,Cole, and Barber...
Great thread...thanks.
