A couple to suggest
The GRP All-Star Big Band.
I was never a big fan of the the albums put out by the label's solo artists, but one of them, pianist Dave Grusin organized a big band that out out a couple of albums in the early 80s. Check out thier album, All Blues.
Tierney Sutton- she can sing! Just a beautiful, wildly expressive voice and the arrangements she sings with her band are just right. A few I can recommend:
Introducing Tierney Sutton
After Blue- she covers Joni Mitchell tunes, taking them to new and insightful places
