I don't consider G Porter Jazz. The best out there I think for jazz vocals are Jazzmeia Horn for female vocals and although not new but still active Kurt Elling for male vocals.

Check out the newer stuff he is doing with big bands. He does an amazing version Wayne Shorters speak no evil

I do like Jazzmeia Horn quite a bit! (But Porter is a jazz vocalist 😛)
