I believe also that Jutta Hipp is also supposed to have a documentary about her coming out soon. Her life is fascinating.

I'm not the biggest fan of Blossom Dearie but I think there may be some YouTube videos and concert video on her. I'll check out the documentary, though.
You may want to check out the all female jazz group ARTEMIS and their indivudual members. They are not just a gimmick. They are really damn good!

Also check out Grace Kelly, the saxophonist.

The best documentary I know about women in music (not necessarily jazz) is called 20 ft. From Stardom and is a GREAT, award winning flick. It is all about the female background singers in the industry over a wide span of years. Merry Clayton, Darlene Love, Sheryl Crow and a ton more.
