[ComradeRed]

K, i wanted to get some jazz from the '30s and '40s, I have:
A kiss to build a dream on - Louis Armstrong

But, don't just take my word for it, the best way to get acquainted with this stuff is to just d/l some songs by them and see if you like em, not me telling you which ones are good. If you have decent internet connection and can d/l songs fast just get like 5 songs from each and listen to em, that's the way to discover it.

Good luck...jazz is very very lucious.

You can never go wrong with Miles Davis.
