In honour of the (to my ears a little average) recent Melissa Aldana album, I would be grateful for recommendations for latin vocal albums that have a strong influence from jazz on the vocal performance.

I am not looking for (1) jazzy bossa / samba records, or (2) afro-cuban records that just have big band instrumentation or descarga passages. That's not because they're not interesting but because they're easily located via Google, rym, allmusic etc. 

I am aware of the bolero subgenre of 'Filin' and am basically looking for that kind of music: not necessarily bolero specialists but singers who are clearly aware of the likes of Ella Fitzgerald or Helen Merrill. I am thinking of albums like this one:

Jose Antonio Mendez – Canta Solo Para Enamorados

Any recommendations are welcome.
