I'm getting more familiar with contemporary jazz (I like Cassandra Wilson, Diana Krall, Chris Botti), and I remember years ago liking some of the neo-soul type stuff (Jill Scott, Maxwell), but I have no idea if that kind of thing is popular anymore. Basically, I would like to start listening to stuff that isn't 50 years old, and I know that at least some contemporary music is good.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Hey Marky- music has sucked the big asshole for the last 10-15 years now.

If you want a revelation, buy all of The Innocence Mission's albums. Glow, Umbrella and Befriended are all five star, unbelievable masterpieces. You will plotz.

Edie Brickell's last solo album, Volcano, is a revelation as well. Ooh, Morrissey's You Are the Quarry was orgasmic.

Sorry that music sucks. Everyone forgot what made it great....
