I am probably late in the race but i just discovered the highly talented jazz musician Esperanza Spalding. She's only 23 and plays double bass. Quite unusual. But she also has a great voice too: If Stevie was a girl this is what he would have been. I am not a bass fan, i always skip the bass sections in a jazz tune because i can't really "read" them. But here the combination is interesting. The same musician leads the two main layers of the song: the bottom layer (the bass) and the top layer (the voice). And it works well.
I let you discover a great song below and strongly recommend her last album
