Help Where to start with jazz?????

The last couple of weeks I've become hooked to a radio statio called KCSM in San Mateo, CA. I love every song, all day all night. Where do I start diving into this new genre? Jazz is my last undiscovered territory. I want it all! What do you recommend??? Please no smooth jazz!!!

Bob James - "Grand Canyon Piano"

Buy it and give me a report back if that is your style?

I love jazz, but am not into "smooth Jazz." I love the Jazz of the late fifties.

I recommend John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Horace Silver,
Cannonball Adderley.

Start with:

Soultrane -- John Coltrane

Steamin' -- Miles Davis

Straight, no Chaser -- Thelonious Monk

Song For My Father -- Horace Silver

Something Else -- Cannonball Adderley

Give those a try.
