There are lots of well known jazz musicians. But since you seem to be asking about female singers, check out Sarah Vaughn, and, more recently, Nancy Wilson. There are lots of much newer this-generation female singers, but none of them is as well known (yet) as the ones you mention. Try Tierney Sutton (try to find "Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead"), and the better known (but more pop than jazz) Diana Krall.
