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.

Jazz Standard Time by the Jacobs Brother.
Boy, does that CD sound beautiful.
I listen to it over and over again and don't get tired of it.

Terence Blanchard "A Tale of God's Will (a requiem for katrina)". this is an amazing and haunting CD, especially the second cut "Levees" It was just released in August this year.

I've posted this in two other threads, but it's the best cd I've bought in a long time so I'm putting it here to.

If you want to try more "recent" music I second the Diana Krall. Also Norah Jones, Clair Martin, MADELEINE PEYROUX just to name a few.
