It sounds Jazz to my ears. But I'm pretty novice about music genres.

Not jazz - I'd say it's closer to soul or R&B.

I love this song, I hear it often on the jazz radio station I listen to and on Pandora.

I'm not a musician or a music historian but to me it's jazz, all the way.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_Simone - covered a broad range of styles including classical, jazz, blues, folk, R&B, gospel, and pop.

The tune Feeling Good is probably R&B and perhaps soul, but All-Music.com puts it under vocal jazz. It could be 'cool jazz'.

For some tunes, there it's difficult to distinguish between R&B and jazz.

The band riff and rhythm and the scat singing are pretty jazzy. The intro is kind of more folky blues.

It has a tint of Big Band instrumental, which sadly overcomes the vocals.
