Duke Ellington and Count Basie are pretty essential.

For anything in the 1920's 0r 30's look for the artists who played during that era, or even the 1940's for legendary jazz greats....Check out the back of the Cd's and view the names on the back such as ...
Bix Beiderbecke----Charlie (Birdman) Parker---Dizzy Gillespie---
Look for singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday (Autumn in New York)...etc.
For am enjoyable and comprehensive study of jazz, America's opera, view Ken Burns documentary on Jazz (highly recommended)...

I really can't suggest anything regarding the New Orleans style videos that you've posted (First and third video).
The second video is post Charlie "Bird" Parker era. I can say for sure that you should run out to the store and pick up this album

Also, concerning the second beboppish video, try these:

I hope these suggestions are good for you. Now run and Get Getz/Johnson.

If you are interested in jazz trombonists you should look for tommy dorsey, frank rosolino, bill watrous, jiggs whigham, j.j. johnson, glen miller, geroge roberts, and bill reichenbach.
hope this helps.

i dunno if you are interested in recent stuff. But John Mayer's new album Continuum is a great jazz album
