Tierney Sutton!!! Excellent musician, improvises as an instrumentalist would, perfect pitch, and wonderful voice. I'd start with "Something Cool" (2002, also available in hybrid/SACD) or "I'm with the Band" which was recorded live at Birdland in 2005. Her latest album was released last year and is on my short list.
I have heard almost all of the above suggested artists and Tierney is my favorite.
