Female Jazz Singers...new person/new releases...

I must admit my collection is dominated by Jazz and my Jazz collection is dominated by female vocals....and it's exactly the way I want it.

The question is...I have most of what the greats did, Dinah, Sarah, Ella....etc...and many current ones...esp. Krall...so, can anyone suggest some current releases...for a bit of the Classic/Standards type of female Jazz vocals? I do not mind big band type of backing...but lean twoards small groups with minimal electronic manipulation...esp. a lack of reverb on the vocals...

Thanks

Like Nnenna Freelon, why Carmen Lundy remains under the radar for so many is beyond me. There are "jazz" singers, and then there are Jazz singers.

And then there is the only rendition of this greatest of songs that can stand next to Ray Charles' classic version, IMO:
