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

I second the motion for Melody Gardot and Patricia Barber. Althought not "new releases", here are some others to consider:

- Dave's True Story (Kelly Flint)
- Ann Hampton Callaway (Check out "Blues in the Night"!)
- J Street Jumpers (Marianna Previti)

Not Jazz but you may also enjoy Rickie Lee Jones and Margo Timmons (Cowboy Junkies).
