This should get you started, little light on the fusion-side of jazz

So many good names....

Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans, Art Blakey, Lester Young, Cannonball Adderley, Max Roach, Clifford Brown, Charles Mingus, Horace Silver, Wayne Shorter, Wes Montgomery, Dave Brubeck, Dexter Gordon, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, early George Benson, Dexter Gordon, Louis Armstrong, Stan Kenton, Stan Getz, Joe Pass, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Pat Martino... countless others!

I'd also file Ray Charles under soul.

a good jazz musician is Duke Ellington. You will love him. Ray Charles falls under bluesy jazz

Miles Davis, Keely Smilth, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Prima, Louis Armstrong. Also, if you want some stuff from recently, Michael Buble has a jazz feel.

Ray Charles would be jazz, or at least in my book.

PAT METHENY

Roy Ayers.
Grover Washington Jr.
Donald Byrd.
Ronny Jordan.
Bob James.
Paul Hardcastle.
