A fresh and delighting new discovery is Portland, Oregon band Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside. The band has a retro sound that fuses jazz, big band, blues and classic pop. And if you give the album a listen below (you're a bit of a fool if you don't), you'll discover that it all sounds a bit dirty, too, which is no criticism in my mind. As you'll discover, Sallie has a really big voice and the band is a very good set of musicians.
Here a video that travels through time and genres:

Sallie moved to Portland from North Carolina in 2006; the band was formed in 2008. The members are Sallie Ford, Jeff Munger, Tyler Tornfelt & Ford Tennis. The band's full length, Dirty Radio, was released on May 23rd. And you can give it a trial spin here:
