Jazz Scene

So I am just curious about what Jazz people listen to. You can link to youtube or just name names. I am always looking for names.
Most of the people I listen to are older but 3 Saxophonists I listen to that are new are:
Chris Potter
Mindy Abair
Candy Dulfer -
I'm a sucker for soft music, but I don't know too many straight Jazz musicians.
Boney James is the main guy I listen to…maybe a little Keeny G (lol)
And Sade, even though she's not a jazz artist per-say, her band and voice are perfect. -
Beware, for I am about to give my selection! … Also including an examples of tracks that I absolutely adore.
Django Reinhardt (you can no longer find musicians like him...): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS2ylPAUxzA
Nina Simone (Check also the remix of this song by Troublemaker, has a punch): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8tuTSi6Sck
Frank Sinatra (though not Jazz only, it's Sinatra): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-8_Se1n67Y
Connie Francis (sniff I am not crying!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0SmSfYo8iE
The Mills Brothers (Check up their background, who needs trumpets?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14QEoEIvUuk
Well, this dose should last a while. Might hop on later to include a bit more.
Cheers.

Nina Simone all the way.

Miles Davis was my introduction to jazz, and he covers the whole range.
A good starting point if you want to sample some.

Very nice. Yeah I have been an avid jazz musician and Listener for 6 years now so I was just curious.
