I know next to nothing about jazz so am unlikely to recognise any artists even when they're virtually spelled out, but still, let's try an R.

R is a hit, some words are pretty clear now. And 8 is Hip hop rather than jazz if that helps.

You're right about quartet. I'll fill in the Q's and U's to keep things simple.

There are hits for B too.

Correct Iranu. A great UK hip hop artist from the 2000's who mysteriously packed it all in and closed down his record label snake hissing people off. Great music though.

Tonbruket is correct, a genre bending Scandinevian band - great in the car.

With doubles points for finishing the list, HappyCamper takes it. Well done, and apologies for picking some obscure stuff.
