Lifecycle of a Mushroom: Music Research 1

As mentioned in a previous comment, I have a mid 20th Century American visual influence and one of the great influences on visual artists at the time was Jazz. I get the feeling that music of Miles Davis and his ilk is perhaps too raw. So I've gone further back to the early pioneers of Jazz and big band music.

I have concerns over the type of music I can use in terms of copyright and so on. What is the situation in regards to this?
