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....

try to find some new cd's coming out on Paulette McWilliams; great female jazz singer; who has sung back up for Celine Dion, and Michale Jackson; now has her own cd out...sweeet and saltry..
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.
