Women in Jazz

My interest piqued by a discussion of women writers on wallace-l, I turned my attention to the state of my cd shelf and noted the appallingly small number of female jazz musicians in my collection. So here are some recommendations that were made to me and now I'm passing them on to you (in no particular order):

I'm leaving out the obvious ones: Billy, Ella, etc. because you know about them already. I'm sure a google search will reveal more, but here is an extensive list of links to hundreds of women jazz musicians to get you started.

I would add the Lynne Arriale Trio to your list. Her Inspiration album has some fresh sounds. Do I hear Monk in there?
