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.

I think this is a thread that deserves to be bumped. I don't have any specific recommendations. I listen to the standards like Miles, Armstrong, Coltrane, Burbeck, Krall, Barber. I have "Jazz at the Pawnshop". Yes I also listen to Steely Dan and Zappa. Even a little Glenn Miller. I have big band, swing, hard bop, fusion and modal offerings. But this thread gave me a few more options so I thought I'd bump it.

Freddie Hubbard "First Light" No more war in this world if everyone listened to this....I can dream
yeah, I agree. I have this album on LP. very nice indeed.....
Dear Dgob: I will take my time reading that link: thank you for that.

As seems to that all people agree if MUSIC is all about IMHO, in each musical's genre, is way important to know its " roots ".

Regards and enjoy the music,
