  1. I'm basically jazz illiterate, but I know what I like. My findings are random though. Clark Terry is cool, and he has tons of collaborations with other artists. Miles Davis isn't played out at all if you're new to him. Guys like Jacques Loussier rearrange classical music to jazz. His version of the 5th Brandenburg is really nice, especially the drum "cadenza". Bossa nova is great. That linked thread mentions some good bossa nova, but also check out Hotel Costes (anything you can find is fucking awesome) and Astrud Gilberto (again her collaborations are where the magic is).

    *edit ~ Fat Possum Records is a very current resource for blues.

    Stan Getz plays Bossa nova/jazz fused too.

    For cool jazz (that slow NY loungy type jazz) try Lester Young, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sara Vaughn and cosign on Miles Davis and John Coltrane two of my favorites.
