I really like Jazz, listen to quite a bit of it.. any suggestions that would be a sort of bridge?
Scott Joplin's rags might be a nice place to start. Don't listen to the Entertainer, it's over-played. Try the Ragtime Dance or the Peacherine Rag or the Easy Winners.

Then listen to some George Gershwin. The king of jazz in the concert hall. Pick anything - it's all awesome. I played his 3 Preludes at a concert and enjoyed them immensely.
