Jazz's long history of female singers is headlined by the big three of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughan. However, the lineage of great female singers extends through to the modern day.​

  • Ella Fitzgerald

  • Sarah Vaughan

  • Billie Holiday

  • Nina Simone

  • Norah Jones

  • Samara Joy

  • Esperanza Spalding

  • Veronica Swift
