Male Jazz singers - any recommendations?

I have a great appreciation for female jazz singers (Sarah Vaughan being my favorite). But when I was listening to a Horace Silver cd, lately (BTW: the RvG edition and some others are on sale right now at Towers for 9.99$), there was a male singer on the last track and it suddenly struck me, that I was completely oblivious of male jazz singers so far.
Now I'm looking for some recommendations. The Kind-of-Blue/My-Favorite-Things/Koeln-Concert-type of male jazz singer performances. Any suggestions are very welcome.

John Pizzarelli - does the classic pop songs (has an entire album devoted to Nat King Cole) - simple, smooth and enjoyable

John Feinstein - classic broadway musical stuff and the like - the real "classics" elegantly done.

Les McCann - earthy, jazzy stuff with more rhythmic drive.

Michael Franks - a little more personal, intellectual stuff, but has a nice pleasant voice and good arrangements.
