Jazz Recommendations

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.

Return to Forever, "Romantic Warrior." "No Mystery" is also very good. This is "good" jazz fusion. The players are Chick Corea - Keyboards etc., Stanley Clarke - Bass extraordinaire, Al Dimeola - Guitar, Lenny White - Drums, percussion. Man, these guys are talented and tight. This is music from the mid 70's. It's out in re-mastered versions so the sound is superb, highly recommended.

Jazz is really diverse. What kind of music or artists did u like b4 getting into jazz, or even now?

My experience was I loved rock when I was a teenager (and still do!), then blues, then ended up in Jazz while listening to all 3 now!

If you love Monk, you will enjoy Bud Powell (4cd set on
Blue Note), Randy Weston "Volcano Blues", and Mal Waldron
"Hot House".
