but I didn't have the patience right now to listen to the whole video. Some of my faves, which I am sure are on there:

Ella Fitzgerald
Billie Holliday
Nina Simone
Dinah Washington
Peggy Lee
Etta James
Sarah Vaughan
Anita O'Day
Blossom Dearie
Bessie Smith
Aretha Franklin
Lena Horne
Helen Forrest
Jo Stafford
Helen Merrill
Diana Krall
Amy Winehouse
Astrud Gilberto (not sure she really counts as jazz)

I'm sure there are a lot more I have overlooked, but those are some of my favorites.
