NT Please School Me On Some Jazz.

[sixzerofour]

What's good NT?
I've always been a huge fan of live jazz but when I go to the jazz bars around my way, I have no idea what songs they'll be covering unless it's some Ray Charles or Nat King Cole. I want to compile a collection for those lazy lounging nights, but I never really know what to download or where to even start.

Can some of you fine people Educate a newbie on all things Jazz?

Just a few of my favorites. Some isn't necessarily "jazz" but sub genres and or jazz influenced. It's all appreciated though

I love the genre of Jazz and if you are looking for some contemparary/smooth Urban Jazz check out Streetwize and also Kim Waters. Recently I have also gotten into a Maurice Brown and Chelsea Baratz both dope artists.

This thread is definitely appreciated!!
