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....

Fay Victor.
Lazy Old Sun, recorded live in Amsterdam is my favorite of the two albums I currently have of her's. An absolute masterpiece. Heavy rotation in my musical life.

Rachael Price. In my opinion, by far one of the best female jazz singers currently recording. Her rendition of "You Go to My Head" makes me weak in the knees. The sultriness of her voice is incredibly sexy and enticing. That's what singing jazz is all about to me.
