help me find quality classic jazz?


I am looking for early jazz recordings (1930 to 1950 I imagine). I like the standards done right or any obscure, quiet, simple jazz featuring guitar, piano, saxaphone (not fast saxaphone but slow, breathy and intimate) drums etc.

I think you get the idea, I like the old stuff but not interested in Swing or Big Band type of music but more like Billy Holiday or Charlie Christian

Any and all recommendations appreciated

for convienience I prefer CD but vinyl is fine too just often costly to find new.

thanks everyone

Dont stop at 1950 but go thru to the 1960's at least....If your into sax and want to stay with the more traditional consider , GENE AMMONS, some LOCKJAW DAVIS, COLEMAN HAWKINS, ZOOT SIMS, PAUL QUINCHETTE, WARDELL GRAY ,BENNY GOLSON, SHIT...I COULD GO ON FOREVER......
