I recently listened to Norah Jones and became to really like her.  I didnt listen to jazz before but now I am looking for other good jazz. Preferably the ones that suitable for young people. Any recommendation?

Diana Krall
Katie Melua
Feist
 
Gabriella Cilmi's first album (Lessons To Be Learned) had a jazz/soul feel about it - her newest one is awful though (don't go there)
 
Not Jazz - more on the soul side - Adele - immensely powerful voice

...also, try Jane Monheit, Melody Gardot and for really young, try Renne Olstead on her "Summertime" release.
 
Norah isn't jazz but she does have a seductively sweet voice IMO.

Wow.  Nina Simone and Eartha Kitt on the same list as Bjork. At first I was like What. Then I started remembering Eartha Kitt during the Vietnam years. She was a lot like Bjork. Not a passive "just sing the songs" type. And then I remembered when I first started to listen Simone back in the 70's.  Besides being a singer she was an interesting person.  Just a very good list and one I need to check out more. This is such a very good thread. It is educational and also reminds me of people who, for no good reason, I haven't listened to in some time. One of the things that makes head-fi forums my fave place these days.
I still don't care for Bjork.

 

[coolcat]

these five persons are my favorites
Ella fitzgerald
Norah Jones
Cassandra Wilsons
Praticia barber
 
and the new found is   "Shiho"  from the band "Fried Pride"   
 
 
Actually I like all kind of music,Soul singers are great too,but in the end,I think I love the Jazz singers the most.

For me its deff vocal trance artists such as Audrey Gallagher, Sarah Howells, Ana Criado, Susana, etc...
 
I just love how delicate and airy their vocals sound. It's surreal.

 

[MrBenvolent]

The phenominal PJ Harvey - young and old(er!)
 
Gillian Welch
 
Karen O

In terms of pure tone, for me very few touch Leona Lewis. Her phrasing, range, tone, everything is there. She's far too underrated imo.
