Jazz and Blues are of the very rare art forms that can be appreciated by nearly everyone that comes in contact with them. The music is so engaging and life affirming that listeners can't help but feel connected to it.

If you've yet to discover the magic of these modern musical masters, check out the infamous trumpet and satchel-mouthed vocals of Louis Armstrong. The tingling piano keys of Earl "Fatha" Hines, "Fats" Waller and "Jelly Roll" Morton. The king of smooth sounds himself, Duke Ellington. Cole Porter's witty lyrics, the elating tunes of Dizzie Gillipsie and the soul-enriching saxophone of Charlie Parker.

If that still hasn't convinced you, then here are four very different samplings from opposite sides of the spectrum that can really get you going; Miles Davis's "Move"; the Dorsey Brothers "St. Louis Blues", Louis Armstrong's "That's My Desire" and Billie Holliday's "Them There Eyes".
