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

Melody Gardot--really good music, and good lush recording--perhaps a little too buttery for some, but I like that lush sound of an orchestra.
Plus, her voice is (to my taste) just about as sexy as one could ask for. Plus she has an interesting story--injured, having been hit by a car.
Buy her last album--you can see her singing on you tube.
BEst,
