I know almost nothing about jazz/blues artists, though from what I've heard, I need to get a bit of knowledge. Specifically, I suppose I'm looking for the kind of cliched blues that's played on 1930s/1940s hollywood noir movies - y'know, sax heavy, slow-paced, sexy and slightly sleazy. Who or what do I look to first?

Also, I've heard Summertime (?) by George Gershwin - is his other stuff good?
