cassandra wilson, chris botti, miles davis, ella fitzgerald, tony bennett, cleo laine (english singer) and her husband john dankworth saxophonist. these artist will give you a variety of styles to listen to. find a record shop or jazz mart where you can hear these artist and of course use the public libraries. music is expensive so buy sparingly until you define your taste. enjoy!

Nina Simone is a singer, not good for easy listening, but she will blow your mind.
