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

I heartily recommend:
Kenny Burrell's "Soul Call"
(McCoy)"Tyner Plays Ellington"
Newborn/Haynes/Chambers "We Three"
Getz with Guest Artist Laurindo Almeida
"Idle Moments" by Grant Green or
"Scott Hamilton is a good wind who is blowing us no ill."
