Jazz is an enormous genre. You could start with early jazz like Louis Armstrong & Jelly Roll Morton. And then go forward to big band & swing like Duke Ellington & Benny Goodman. Later on, there are the cool jazz & bebop groups to check out like the bands that Miles Davis & John Coltrane fronted.

Of course since this is a guitar site, you might be more curious about jazz guitarists! :)

So early players would be Charlie Christian & Django Reinhardt. Later on you've got guys like Joe Pass & Wes Montgomery. And there are newer guys like George Benson, Earl Klough. Or modern bebopish players like John Scofield or Pat Martino.

Put any of those names into Google or iTunes & listen for something you like! And a general Google search will keep you busy for a while. :)

And one of my personal faves that mixes jazz & blues in a swing style is Brian Setzer! Wow, that cat's swinging! :)
