Modern day female jazz recommendations

We all know the classics from decades ago. What are your favorite your more contemporary female jazz singers of today?

Living close to Nashville I have the opportunity to see and hear a lot of up and coming artists. Nashville is NOT just country music by a long shot.

I'll start with Diana Krall....

Cassandra Wilson! IMHO, she carries the throne of of jazz vocalists. She sings other genres as well. New album just out: "Loverly". Can't wait to listen...

Also, I just discovered a young talent by the name of Melody Gardot.

I bought Susie Arioli and Tracey Kent. They are both fantastic artists. Tracey has a warm sultry voice. Arioli also has great voice and some well-recorded live stuff.

Sorry-of course it is Stacey Kent.

BTW, Melody Gardot's second album is out-very good! A complete musician at a very young age!
