I am just starting to get into Jazz. I recently bought Thelonious Monk Quartet "Live at Monterey" and was blown away. Could you recommend other mainstream Jazz recordings that I should have in a basic collection to help me get started.
Pat Metheny, one of the talented jazz musicians ever - and unbelievably dynamic in concert. Yet, no one has mentioned him, hmmm. Sure, Herbie and Miles are great, but Metheny's range of music is most adventurous and creative.
I'll just quietly slip into the back of the lecture hall and take notes. Since I forget to bring the books on the reading list, I'll consult the *starters'* list of jazz standards and contemporary jazz classics at http://amadeus.siba.fi/~eonttone/standard.html
