there are as many jazz sub-genres as there are rock sub-genres. so yeah, ambient jazz/funk could be legit. probably something by Modeski, Martin, & Wood.

as for getting into it, it really depends on what style you like and what you're looking to get. there are plenty of recommendation threads on this site. they're all good.

there's also a very good reason why these three names (Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, John Coltrane) appear in every single top X jazz list ever.
