Modern day female jazz recommendations

Karrin Allyson (my latest female obssession outside of my wife). Check out "Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane" for straight jazz songs, and "Imagina" for Brazil/Bossa Nova songs. Both are to die for.

karrin Allyson is certainly great. Must try!

Old threads never die...
Not jazz. Just having a new love affair with Brandi Carlile.
Discovered her watching Austin City Limits featuring Roseanne Cash, she was the second artist. Extraordinary voice, songwriting. Love to listen to "Oh Dear" on that show. Try to catch that one, try her.

Another non jazz pic would be Nina Hagen. She can sound like just about anything she wants and does. Find, if you dare, "Nunsexmonkrock" for an insane 40 mins of headphone euphoria. Not for the faint of heart or the unadventurous.

Eliane Elias - "Everything I love." I found this while searching for albums in which Bassist Christian Mcbride plays on.
Eliane is a Brazilian pianist and also sings on half of the cuts.
I am REALLY in love with this one!!

Of course I cheat on her sometimes. I'm just a mere mortal man.
