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....

Very good responses, yo! This fan is impressed. One of these days, not just yet, Amy Winehouse. Just past, Shirley Horne- You Won't Forget Me (Verve). Sound quality, ah, like 10.

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".
