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.

Raytheprinter, If you are still out there,if you are a Gene Harris fan,have you heard 'Gene Harris Quartet-Black and Blue cd.It is, IMHO, superb.

I really enjoy the Swedish

Esborjm Svensson Trio

piano, bass, drums
and some electric elements thrown in for good measure

great merge of jazz with some rock and experimental elements. Anything they've done is great

Just got a new one,another exceptional (IMHO)Gene Harris Quartet CD, Little Piece of Heaven.Aptly named as I hear it.
