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.

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,
