Can anyone suggest some blues rock that is a bit progressive maybe, or just some classical blues that everyone can enjoy, maybe a compilation album.

And on the jazz front, I need some artists to listen too as well. I'm not very knowledgeable on Jazz sub genres, but I don't think I like the popular female jazz singers you always seem to hear about. I'm looking for something more along the experimental creative area of things.

Appreciate any suggestions, thanks!
For Jazz:

Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity
Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius
Don Wilkerson - Elder Don
Peter Brotzmann - Machine Gun
Peter Brotzmann - Guts
Peter Brotzmann - Right As Rain
Surrender To the Air - Surrender To the Air
Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch
Kenny Drew - Undercurrent
John Coltrane - Interstellar Space

Those (for the most part) verge on the more experimental...to say the very least. But anyway, if you're interested in checking 'em out and need a link, I'm just a PM away.
