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....

Same comment again - it is Stacey Kent, not Tracey Kent. Agree - Stacey and Jim are a geat combo.
Kevyn Lettau, Melody Gardot, Eleni Mandell, Robin McKelle, and Kate McGarry to add to what has already been mentioned.

And now for the change-up, Ingrid Lucia and the Flying Neutrinos' "Hotel Child". You will love this cd. Trust me.
Sorry-of course it is Stacey Kent.

BTW, Melody Gardot's second album is out-very good! A complete musician at a very young age!
