Jazz vocals recommendations please


My music tastses have become much more eclectic and I'm moving away from classic rock & pop & increasingly interested in jazz & progressive rock. Any suggestions re: well-recorded jazz with strong instrumentals, percussion and nice vocals? I've discovered Diana Krall & have most of her work. Patricia Barber musically nice but a bit too dark in mood for me (more like blues). Any and all suggestions welcome!!
