<p>If you don't usually listen to Jazz but want to start listening, I recommend checking out <i>Kind of Blue</i>, <i>Moanin'</i>, <i>Dear Diz (Every Day I Think of You)</i>, <i>Live at the Village Vanguard</i>, and <i>At the Pershing: But Not for Me</i> to get started. Of these five albums, the first two and last albums give some background context for a genre in the jazz realm known as Bebop. <i>Live at the Village Vanguard</i> extends the genre by modernizing the sounds but still shares many similarities with these albums. The music on <i>Dear Diz</i> is a different genre known as big band jazz (the band consists of roughly 10 to 20 band members, as opposed to three or four members in a bebop group). Arturo Sandoval is a Latin jazz trumpeter; this album is his expression of gratitude toward his mentor Dizzy Gillespie, who himself is a central bebop figure.</p>

<p>If you already decided that you don't like jazz but have read this far, chances are that you have some curiosity about it. I recommend listening to <i>We Like It Here</i>. This album fuses the sounds of jazz, rock, and hip-hop into a genre known as fusion. While it doesn't sound like "traditional" Jazz, it still embodies many of jazz's basic concepts.</p>
