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.

Ray,I got the 'Jazz Cello' cd,after your mention of it.It has become a favorite.What is best about it imho is the accompaniment to Ray's playing is some really first class small ensemble 'jazz' and the choice of the material is excellent.Thanks.
