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....

I haven't seen anyone mention Sandy Sasso. She is great. Start with Mixed Grill. I have been using Tuxedo Junction for speaker auditions and have won her fans in the process. I suspect VMPS may be using that song to show off their speakers now. Another one you don't hear about too much about in recent years is Susanne McCorkle. She can be a bit quirky but a lot of fun. Dream is a good starting CD. Sophie Milman has a lot of potential, beautiful voice but she needs to develop more. Still, her Make Somebody Happy (I hope I remember that right) is very pretty and is well worth a listen, if only for Rocket Love. Holly Cole, especially her new solo album, Cheryle Bentyne is fun.
