Does anyone know of any up and coming Italian jazz vocalists?
If so, Can you recommend any CD's ?

Roberta Gambarini - she's really great, deserving a lot more attention than she's got up to now. You'll find a thread on her at the Artists and Bands section here.

This one with John Taylor and Ralph Towner is beautiful too:

She has sung with Colin Towns orchestra and band to great effect:

and 'Nowhere and Heaven' and 'Dreaming Man in Blue Suede Shoes'.

There are a lot of Italian recordings too, for example:

I suggest you "Notturno" by Claudio Ottaviano Trio.
It's a great choice !
