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've been obsessing over Kelly Flint of Dave's True Story for a while now. Although I sampled her latest, without Dave, and find it very boring. Funny how that happens sometimes, like with Keely Smith. I find her extraordinary with Louis Prima, but boring without. Anyway, any three of these finds Kelly at her best, IMO:
"Dave's True Story";
"Sex Without Bodies"; and
"Nature".

Karrin Allyson (my latest female obssession outside of my wife). Check out "Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane" for straight jazz songs, and "Imagina" for Brazil/Bossa Nova songs. Both are to die for.
