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....

Connie Evingson, Her Stockholm Sweetnin', done mostly in Sweden, is even better than Gypsy In My Soul. Anyone hear her latest Django collaboration?
Been listening to Haley Loren out of OR. Great range of song choices, good original music, good players, big in Japan. Also, Rachael Price out of Boston. Great voice singing jazz and cabaret and blues.
Not new but not well known, Maria Rita out of Brazil. Sings in Portuguese. The daughter of some big time Brazilian artists.
Lastly, have become a big Tiernry Sutton fan. Three octave voice out if LA. She is a teacher at USC Music School. Great technically but with feeling. Done a number of CDs including jazz arrangements of American folk songs like Shenandoah.
