A lot of classic jazz has tremendous compilation sets remastered and affordable. There are some interesting new artists and new movements.
Try some electro swing, combining sampling of hot jazz from before the depression with some pretty good modern musicians. I am partial to Caravan Palace because one of their percussionists is a Lionel Hampton fan and plays some good vibraphone
Melody Gardot has put out some good albums this past decade.
Her recent Currency of Man album sounds like detective show themes used to sound like in sixties and seventies when hardboiled private eyes were the thing.
And as usual, Postmodern Jukebox continues to impress.
Love Postmodern Jukebox. I was so disappointed when I heard they were playing here where I live but didnt hear about it until the night of the concert.
