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!!!

Easy: Kind of Blue. It's the album to start with…and stay with.

Check out "Bird and Diz". Charley Parker and Dizzy Gillespie with Thelonius Monk on piano. Good introduction to the Bop scene.

I *currently* have a pair of MartinLogan SL3s with my DNA 1/B and they sound wonderful, especially on jazz, vocals, strings, etc. I've heard better for rock, but these are still fairly punchy.

Unfortunately we're downsizing and they won't work in the new house. I've got a potential buyer coming by tomorrow, but drop a line if you're interested and I'll let you know if they're still available.
