Direct me to good Jazz music

[Qwerty Dvorak]

Please. Kind of bluesy-Jazz stuff, or whatever you like yourself.

[Jazzratt]

What kind of stuff do you want? Personally I'd recommend some of Keith Jarrett's stuff, but that would be quite different from, say any of the old 40s/50s stuff.

The only music I would consider calling "bluesy jazz" is maybe Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, and Billie Holiday. Both highly recommended by me. A lot of jazz has a certain "blue" feel to it. Obvious examples would be Kind of Blue by Miles Davis.

I'm a huge jazz fan. I'll give you some cool stuff to check out from all different genres of jazz.

Bill Frisell
John Scofield
Jan Garbarek
Miles Davis
John Coltrane
Keith Jarrett
Pat Metheny
John Mclaughlin
Jack Dejohnette

For some Funky jazz check out Joshua redman's works.. he's got this cool groove he gets into in his works.

Anyways thats a start.. most stuff by these artists is good but as for Coltrane I'd stay away from his works titled: Ascension, Om, Kulu Se Mama, and Selflessness. They are incredibly avant garde and you might not enjoy them, and it would probably turn you off... you have to sort of listen to Coltrane chronologically.

If you like Jazz & rap check Us3, they blend those styles together like the best.
Gil Scott-Heron made alot of Jazz.

[Rage Against Right]

Keith Jarret, Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea (i'm a piano player) they are great fusion jazz players,

Miles Davis
Charlie Parker
Micheal Brekker

there some of my favourites at the moment

[Rage]

Thelonious Monk, FTW!

You really need to check out Poncho Sanchez. They are probably my favorite latin jazz band. There are some samples of songs at his site. http://www.ponchosanchez.com/flashed.html
Just go to the discography and look through the albums and there will be samples. I will give you some of my favorites.

Adding to the stuff other people have suggested, Art Blakey. And if you want just straight blues, Buddy Guy ftw!

How could I forget Art Blakely. When I was young I used to be around a lot of Jazz musicians. Poncho Sanchez was one along with Art Blakely, Willie Bobo's son Eric and a bunch others that I was too young to remember their names. I was brought up on Jazz so much yet I am still hesitant to play it because it is so intricate. I also grew up dancing to live jazz yet I can't dance either :D

[krakatoan]

You should listen to Royal Crown Revue
It's fast jazz, new swing
check out their CD, Mugzy's Move
