well it mostly depends on YOUR tastes...if you are still learning about the whole genre then look up condensed histories.
it runs the gamut from Dixieland to Swing to BeBop to Fusion to Acid to who knows where next.
Some easy and accessible artists would be Louis Armstrong, Bix Biederbeck, Django Rienhardt, Artie Shaw, Gene Krupa, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Stan Kenton, Dave Brubeck, and Wynton Marsalis. This barely scratches the surface.
You'll develop your own tastes in time and have a collection of artists and eras. Good luck and keep promoting this purely American musical form.

Everything from Diana Krall and Louis Armstrong! Not only they are excellent JAZZ artists but they sing really great JAZZ songs. It's a must to listen to them for all JAZZ fans!

I'm personally a fan of Sade, although I'm not sure if she is under the jazz genre. Also the classics like Miles Davis. It really depends on what type of sound you are looking for.

Ray Charles, Sam Chatmon, Eric Clapton (My famous album from him is Me and Mr. Johnson), BB King, Canned warmth, Muddy Waters, Willie Nix, Stevie Ray Vaughan... there's a start up besides... There are a ton of artists, yet you will desire to locate a variety you like first..

Here's some good stuff to get you started. I don't know how much you already heard or know about jazz so I'll be basic in my explanation...
John Ellis was the sax player in Charlie Hunter's band. Ellis's own stuff is really amazing (very different from Hunter's music). Please, do yourself a favor and get this album. See them live too, if you get the chance.

The Blue Note record label had great records, especially in the 1960's. The musicians all played on each other's albums. It was a community of great musicians who inspired each other. Here are some amazing classics.
Guitar, piano, bass and drums. This album has real great chemistry within the band, it flows really nice.

Horace Silver played with a lot of feel, and groove. This is a really great album by him.

Another amzing Blue Note album.

After I bought this album, I went back to the store and I asked a guy there who had originally suggested it to me if there was another musician who swings like Monk. He looked at me real serious and said "NOBODY, swings like Monk!" Now, I know he was right. Here's the album he turned me onto.

This is my first album that got me really interested in jazz. I still love hearing it.

Mingus is the real deal, anything with Dolphy in his band is usually great. Try this one.
http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql...
John Coltrane is great. Try anything from 1960-1965 (for starters).
http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql...
http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql... Theres's also a 4 disc box set if you like the one disc cd and you want more.
Of course, the best selling jazz album of all time. It really does live up to the hype.

I hope you try at least one of these. Regardless, I hope you check out jazz music. If you're interested in any more suggestions, I'm happy to help, you can send a message to me for more suggestions if you want to. Enjoy.

Metalkrak did not name a solo bass player, so how about Kyle Eastwood. He plays electric and double bass, and plays some good easy listening blues.
Oh...... and his dad made a film or two. Don't let that put you off!
