    Samurai Champloo~esque Music

    So I'm not particularly versed in many forms of jazz, but I do really really love the Samurai Champloo OST (and if you haven't given it a listen it's well worth it). I'm wondering if there's anything out there that has a specific name to go with that kind of music so I can search for it easier, or if anyone has any recommendations that would be similar to the champloo soundtrack please let me know.

    I'm not really looking for ambient techno, that's a little too downbeat, more something on the jazzier side but I don't really exactly know how to describe it all that well.

    If anyone can give me some tips on starting places that'd be pretty amazing. I've tried going to /mu/ on 4chan (because some of the non /b/ boards are decent), but all /mu/ cares about is stupid hipster douchebag artists and metal for the most part and has been of absolutely no help outside of those two genres.

    last.fm takes care of all your needs.

    but, go with Nujabes, since he actually did some of the music. Follow with nomak, dj deckstream, jazz one, and emancipator.

    Yokko Kano - She does a lot of Anime Soundtracks. Most of her works including Cowboy Bebop had a Jazz sound to it as I believe that is her favorite Genre though she is well versed in other music genres.

    I have Nujabes, although the last album of his that i got was Modal Soul (and that was a while ago), but they are very good
