Modern day female jazz recommendations

interesting list.

my favorite recent find is Sophie Millman.

Maybe I'm late to the party...but I've got to say that the finest talent, new to me, that I've heard in the past 20 years, is Renee Olstead.
She's just now 22 years old--but if one goes to youtube and watches her "Someone to Watch Over Me", that she performed at the ripe old age of 14...you'll hear someone who's voice sounds, angelic, beautiful, well seasoned and just beyond imagination. (Feel like Rod Serling with that one).
WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW.
She has two albums--I have both, and they're hypnotic--she takes ownership of every song she sings...they are hers once you've heard her sing them.
"A once in a generation or two, or three, voice!"

Erin Bode.... a flair that leans pop, but undoubtably Jazz.
I have 3 cd's all are recorded by a small record company called MAX JAZZ and are certainly very good to excellent recordings.
The Little Garden....
Don't Take your Time
Over and Over

Since were approaching 10 years after her death a vote for Susannah McCorkle is over due. Thou she lacked the seamless voice of Fitzgerald she had all the intangibles, the ability to make the song her own with class and dignity.
