Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Jane Monheit....?

Well, within the last 6 months I've found that I have a love for female Jazz singers. It started with Diana Krall and then Norah Jones and as of the last couple of weeks, Jane Monheit. Any recommendations on other great female jazz singers? How about male jazz artists?

It's always fun to explore a new genre and I love what I hear so far. :-)

Another big vote for Cassandra Wilson!!! Judging by the others you mentioned, you might also want to check out Eden Atwood and Carole Welsman. you might also like Robbie Williams "Swing while you're winning" CD.

My favourite female jazz vocal is Flora Purim.
For male I'd go with Donald Fegan(jazz-rock vocal)

Eva Cassidy, who tragically died so young. Acclaimed in Europe, and nearly unknown here.

Eva Cassidy is just amazing - try all of her CD's. Her rendition of "Over the Rainbow" on her CD Songbird will bring tears to you eyes.

Grab Steve Tyrell's CD titled "Standard Time". Track # 5 has a great duet of Steve Tryell with Jane Monheit, "Baby Its Cold Outside" that will knock you out. The rest of the Tyrell CD is a treat (every song).
.
Try Etta James CD titled "Love Songs". Tracks 1,2 & 8 are great songs from an enormously talented singer.
