Pick up some Charlie Hunter stuff NOW. I cannot reccomend the man enough.

Bing, Bing, Bing, Natty Dread (a jazz adaptation of Bob Marley's first album), Right Now Move, and Emphasizer (by Garage A Trois - a side project of his with Skerik and a couple of percussionist) are all great places to start.

He has several free live mp3s on his website http://www.charliehunter.com
