Not so big on either of the genres myself, but Louis Armstrong is one of my definite favorite artists. He have a lot of great tunes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahJCERfeehY is one hell of bassist. Other than that, I can't say I listen to all that much jazz. Unless you count acid jazz, in which case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JkIs37a2JEis boss. And http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6jCJZEFIto.

I don't listen to all that much blues (not counting blues rock, or other derivatives... Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Hendrix as you mentioned, ect) except this tune by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAVCt8cu7X8.
