Help Me Expand My Music Taste


Hello Everyone,
I know essentially nothing about jazz and blues, but I would like to learn to appreciate these styles of music. To this end, if you would list for me your five favorite jazz or blues albums it would be very helpful in giving me some starting points. My impression is that jazz for example is somewhat of an acquired taste, and that as with wine, some albums are more likely to appeal to a novice than would other albums even by the same musician. I do not have an analogue setup, so my listening is limited to CD's. Let me thank you in advance for your suggestions.
All the best,
Dennis

If you have XM radio, or willing to get it, the Real Jazz station is a great source. They have a lot of diversity, and on Saturday mornings they have a musician on profiling a jazz great. It often goes into detail about techniques, etc.
They also have regularly daily interviews with both established and up-and-coming musicians.
