Teen newly interested in Jazz.

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello.  A few weeks ago my mother and I watched the movie "Something's Gotta Give" and I fell in love with the soundtrack.  I especially loved the samba/jazz type songs (So Nice...).  I'd never heard anything like it!  There was also some Eartha Kitt and Coralie Clement. I wasn't as crazy about the "easy listening" songs.  But the jazzy ones just blew me away.
I want to make a Playlist of similar tunes.  Could you guys give me some tips on other classical Latin (and maybe French) jazz artists that you think could go on that list?  I don't mind doing the research if you can just give me a nudge in right direction.  I'm new to jazz and don't know what topics I might search to find the artists I like.  THANK YOU!
