Can you guys point me towards some good jazz & blues songs & bands?
Like good stuff to start of with?

I would really appreciate it, greetz

Maybe the best place to start for blues is the great Muddy Waters, king of the Chicago blues, with Muddy's music you can hear the origins of Rock n Roll. Of course he is just one name, but just one listen to his show closer, "Got My Mojo Working" will show you what I mean...................... Muddy

Waters

Dizzy Gillespie's pretty good. Start there. Also try Miles Davis and Charlie Parker. If you like jazz at all, you'll love them.

You should check out Esperanza Spalding for a modern jazz singer. She not only a very talented singer but also a very talented bassist.
