Depends on what kind of jazz you like
Big Band = I suggest Ella Fitzgerald Song Book, and Frank Sinatra
Samba = I suggest Stan Getz
Piano Jazz = Oscar Peterson and Vince Guaraldi
Fusion Jazz = Spyro Gyra
Other greats include:
Dizzy Gillespie
Maynard Ferguson
Louie Bellson
Miles Davis
Chuck Mangione
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
Stanley Jordan
Lee Ritenour
Grover Washington Jr.
Hope this helps.

I'm going to suggest the Squirrel Nut Zippers, even though I'm grossly unqualified in this genre and have only listened to said band in sampling their stuff. Their name is cute and they made me bounce up and down in my chair a little.

You could start with a Blue Note compilation, like "The Best Blue Note Album in the World" and take it from there... see what you like. Maybe Medeski Martin and Wood?

The Cradle of Sound. They played with BB King on New Year's Eve in my home town. I'm good friends with them and did their web site, they always draw a crowd.
