If this has not been posted by someone already.

It is the free download site now out of Beta testing, but I think still 
with a few bugs in the download process. Amazingly under jazz (On the 
main jazz page look for the VERY small link to "Other" or complete 
listing.) it contains several sub genres covering swing, big band, 
dixieland, etc.

This is a legal site that is paying the producers, or artists, or 
independent labels (they are actively soliciting artists and producers 
to offer their products like the pay sites.) themselves and downloading 
a good number of their listed albums for free.  How long it will last is 
anyone's guess. I have skipped downloading too many days already, but it 
is still up and running and adding more albums or tracks!

All download songs or albums are clearly marked. On the main or first 
jazz page, before you get to the sub categories, are a couple of Diane 
Krull albums for example.  Lots to explore. Click all links if you dare. 
No credit cards required. Advertising pays the bills.

You doesn't pay your money, but you takes your chances. This is the site 
mentioned on the business page of USA Today a couple weeks ago now. It 
can't be all bad.

US only for now I believe. Maybe Canada?  Sorry.
