Modern Jazz

Does anybody know of any jazz singers/groups that are around today, specifically people who write or cover swing songs or anything like that? I've got:
-Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics [um, more like soul than Jazz really...]
-Matt Dusk [Canadian crooner, more into the softer stuff but still good]
-Michael Bublé [duh]

Yeah, so my list isn't much, which is why I'm asking for help in the first place...

These two people are the best female jazz singers that I've heard in a long time. They don't really do much swing, if any, but they're fantastic anyway.

Jane Monheit - I saw her in concert and she was awesome!
Brenda Earle - I know her personally and she's fantastic!

Hmm, both of them are pretty okay. Nothing I personally love, but they're okay. I was kinda looking for someone who fit under the definition of 'crooner' though.

have you ever listened to Paul Anka - he's pretty good - i've got some stuff by him which are covers of popular songs in swing style.
