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.

This is the most captivating jazz album I've heard in a long time.

My vote goes for Patricia Barber, Tord Gustavsen trio, Brad Mehldau. They all play piano and they really make me float and forget that life can be bitch sometimes :-)

My favorite recent jazz discovery is Manu Katche's Neighborhood.

I second the Manu Katche - neighborhood cd and recommend the Eldar - live at the blue note and George Duke - in a mellow tone cds.
