So many musicians and bands have crossed over either from jazz styles, or to them. Guitarists such as George Benson and Larry Carlton have contributed heavily to the rock era while never losing site of their roots in jazz music. http://www.progarchives.com/subgenre.asp?style=30
There have been so many iconic jazz artists such as the incomparable Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong and Thelonius Monk. Each defined different eras in jazz that paved the way for the newer stars like Kenney G, Wes Montgomery and Boney James just to name a few.
A truly American endeavor in music, jazz has crossed international lines many times over. Some of the most popular jazz bands and artists originate from countries throughout the world. . Adhering to the great diversity and immigrant culture that has partially defined the genre, modern bands such as Hiroshima utilize the traditional instruments and harmonies of Japanese music with a purely American sound. http://www.jazzhalloffame.com

Upright Bass
The upright bass is part of the rhythm section; its notes are low and sound deep and boomy.http://uprightbass.com/ There are several different types of upright basses; for instance, some are electrical.http://www.gollihurmusic.com/links.cfm
When choosing an upright bass, unless you are very tall and have larger than average sized hands, you will want a 3/4 bass. This is the average size of the upright bass and is used by most professional musicians. Some basses are even smaller, like the 5/8 bass.
Upright basses are made from carved wood or plywood, the former being the most expensive kind. There are also hybrid versions available. The average price of a decent upright bass is about $1,500. http://uprightbass.com/2009/12/18/gettin-an-upright-bass/ If you can afford it, you might want to have a bass made exclusively for you. You can find professional upright bass makers at EarlyBass.com.http://www.earlybass.com/mk.htm
