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?

Same here... I've been living in a cave with my favorite CDs. FM radio has too many commercials and I work at a computer all day, so at home computer is limited. {DING... time to Log Out}} My new car came with 3 months of XM to which I'm going to subscribe because I need to expand. So far, I've heard some pretty good stuff on the Starbuck's channel, Urban/Soul and even some HipHop (did I just say that? ) Now to pay attention to the screen when it displays who and what song is playing and try not to crash!

Other than that, I like that Gnarls guy, I hear him in the shower sometimes on Kink FM. Death Cab for Cutie is cool too.
