Modern day female jazz recommendations

Looked at my old post and forgot to mention that Diz's daughter is named Jeanie Bryson.Her stuff is great.Diane Reeves is best out there now.Also if you can find early 70's LP/CD of Dee Dee Bridgewater (right up thier with Reeves) is one she did called "Afro Blue".Stunning!!!!!

I have to "second" the Tierney Sutton recommendations. An earlier poster, last year, mentioned Tierney Sutton's voice as being nasal. I completely disagree with that. Her voice is silky pure. The nassl one, in my opinion, is Stacey Kent.

Paula West is also immensely talented, but unheralded unfortunately.

Kellylee Evans. Her first cd "Fight or Flight" for something new and different. All original songs and an excellent performance and recording.
