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.

"Something Else", led by Cannonball Adderly with Miles Davis, Sam Jones, Hank Jones and Art Blakey; is the greatest jazz album of all time. Bird With Strings would come in number 2.
We Get Requests -Oscar Peterson with Ray Brown on bass.
Picked up the K2HD cd a few months back and it's a marvel both sonically and more important musically.
Freddie Hubbard "First Light" No more war in this world if everyone listened to this....I can dream
