The Ken Burns Jazz PBS series was a great intro to
jazz. There is a multi-CD recording of music
from the early 1900's to the 1990's.
Listening to the radio is an excellent way to get
acquainted with jazz. Just go buy something you
heard and liked and then maybe another by the same
artists.
Pay attention to whether you relate more to
singers or instrumentalists. Is there some one
particular instrument that really gets you (I'm a
big fan of jazz organ and piano)?
Any one particular performer? How about the jazz blues?
Good luck with your new found taste for jazz.
