What happened to my comment? It was long and lengthy and informative and the most I've written in the blogosphere all week. Hmph!

Dude, I'm insanely jealous. I wish I could be there! I was raised on a healthy diet of jazz, blues, swing, and military bands (spot the odd one out), so I'm heavily in to a lot of the first three.

Traditionally, I love the old timers - John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone etc.

I also like some traditional Latin jazz, like Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Joao Gilberto.

I'm not such a huge fan of modern jazz or improv/freestyle jazz, but I do like some David Sanborn, Pat Methany, Fourplay, Yellow Jackets and Cedric Simon.

Swing is a no brainer; Frank, Sammy and Dean are the kings, and I'll dig some Harry Connick Jr often, as well as some other names from the big band era; Glen Miller definitely, Buddy Greco, Mel Torme, Oeggy Lee, Bobby Darin, Nancy Wilson etc.

And then blues. I'll dig pretty much any good blues, from the big names like BB King, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, through modern day blues players like John Mayer and Derek Trucks.

One thing I REALLY like, and seems to be lesser known on this side of the Atlantic, is 'French Touch' jazz (sometimes known as Jazztronica). It's essentially the fusing of live jazz musicians with beats and loops and deep house sounds. St. Germain are the kings of this (check out their albums 'Boulevard' and 'Tourist'), but there are plenty of excellent artists out there; The Streetlife Originals, Solaris Heights, Trio De Janeiro, Ludovic Navarre etc. Also check the 'Paris Under A Groove' collection and the 'St Germain Des Pres Cafe' collection (not related to the other St. Germain.

Enjoy the weekend!

Tyler, I love running sound for blues. there are some great blues bands in this valley.

Adam, I am running for a band called the Queen City Jazz band. they are actually from New Orleans. they have a killer brass section and a seasoned front lady that has a voice to die for. Old, soulful and powerful. If you like Nora, you'd like them.

I think the closest thing to Jazz I have is a couple Norah Jones cd's.. her voice is pretty great. But I love the sound of jazz. The raw sound of it live with the Brass horns.. is the best.
