Music:

• The Black Seeds - NZ reggae band. Newer stuff is a little more pop but they're a tight band with nice beats and accompaniment. This vid is fan made and the sound quality isn't the greatest but if you get it you get it. Sorry, edited for a link to a different vid as the first one I linked to was only a minute and a half long. Oops.
  
• Jazzanova - German Chillout/Nu-Jazz/downtempo pioneers. For a little different spin, check out Kevin Brewer (one of the Jabbawockeez) freestyling to it.
  
• Estelle - British hip hop singer whose latest album was released in the US on John Legend's label, Homeschool. You've probably seen this video on MTV.
  
• Art Tatum - Watching Ken Burns's Jazz documentary I saw a clip of Art Tatum performing a piece called Tiny's Exercise. Mind blowing. 1943.
