while kind of blue is an album on its own league (that's what makes it so remarkable too) you might want to try Coltrane's Blue train. this is an all-assault on melodies and rhythm. you won't believe your ears and your foot will never stop tapping to the beat.
other recommendations:
john coltrane 'my favorite things'
john coltrane 'giant steps'
the collaboration albums between ella Fitzgerald and louis armstrong (they're all great stuff!)
sonny clark 'cool struttin'
kenny dorham 'quiet kenny'
kenny dorham 'whistle stop'
and there are many others, but this is a good start!
best wishes!
