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?

I'll start with Diana Krall....

Rachael Price. I just picked up a re-released 2008 CD originally recorded in 2003 by the then 17 year old Rachael Price. Ella influenced with a beautiful voice can't wait to get some of her current work.
