Interestingly enough, I found some questionable items on Lisa's list, although not if you only go by her recommendations. Stick to them and you can't go wrong.

Personally, as far as modern artists, a few of my favorites are The Christian McBride Band, Diana Krall (who is simply amazing), Bela Fleck (jazz banjo mixed with a whole lot of other styles) and (at least his more recent stuff) trumpeter Chris Botti (his earlier offerings are a little on the "smooth" side and I'm more of a traditionalist.) I'm also partial to almost anything by Vince Guaraldi, Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, Charlie Parker, Charlie Mingus and Chick Corea.
