Who is that incredible jazz bass girl?

Saw her twice now on pbs. Most recently stole the show playing for the prez at the tribute concert for Stevie Wonder. She is a young black woman who sings and plays bass with a jazz troop and sounds way beyond her years.
Anybody know who Im talking about? Would like to buy her albums.

Her latest CD certainly has it's moments - she sings and plays like she is from Rio, but I think she actually grew up in Portland, OR. She's something of a prodigy.

Here she is on Jimmy Kimmel Live:
