First of all, welcome aboard MD, puiu! You have asked an interesting question..I am an avid jazz listener as well as other genres but I have never looked for modern bebop soongs! Most of the legendary bebop singers are no longer with us..and the modern singers tend to sing the old standards!..lol...however you may find some joy in listening to Cassandra Wilson, Esperanza Spalding's Radio Music Society album, Kurt Elling, Neneh Cherry's album The Cherry Thing and Sheila Jordan. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Ella, Betty, Sarah, Billy, Joe and many others are in Jazz Heaven.
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
