Jazz did not gained popularity only in America. It also enjoyed a major influence in Eastern Europe. Polish jazz has been under the light for a few decades already. Now it's time to get familiar with jazz from Czecholosvakia. The youngest ones might not know what that country is ; well, it's not anymore, as it splitted in Czech Republic and Slovakia during the 1990's.
The Blast kid wrote a very interesting article for the Laid-Back website about the development of modern jazz in Czechoslovakia in the late 1940's. And of course, it comes with a mix.
You should also visit his own website, on which he kindly shares his extended knowledge about jazz music, and other black music genres. His record collection seems huge, so don't get jealous.
