If you like vocalists: Diana Krall! Of the 4 I got, I like that the best.

if you like nina simone
check out billie holiday, ella fitzgerald, sarah vaughn

and also worth your while:

Lester Young, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles


non vocal stuff that i am currently listening to:
Thelonious Monk, Charlies Mingus, Django Reinhardt (everyone should own a django cd or lp imo)

cheers!

Just found a mint vinyl version too.

Wes Montgomery is my bestfriend's hero

i like him a lot too, but my friend loves him to death

he can really tear it up, i like him way more than charley christiansen (tho apples n' oranges)

I've been buying a lot of jazz CD's from Borders Books lately. There is a series of jazz releases called the Rudy Van Gelder Edition. These are all classic jazz recordings remastered by Rudy Van Gelder. The sound is first rate, the music selection is great and the CD's are priced at $11.99 each. Can't go wrong with any of them.

I'm also a big Patricia Barber fan.

Those sound interesting Ken. Which ones have you bought so far?

Go out of your way to hear Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz. www.pianojazz.org Each week you'll get well-exposed to a new artist -- music, anecdotes, and on occassion priceless jazz theory discussions. As indicated on the website, there's mix of legendary performers, today young lions, and highly talented unknowns. Primarily straight-ahead but not exclusively so. If it's not broadcast near you (highly unlikely), it can be heard like 30 times a week online.

Edit: Hey -- that was my 1000th post.
