Help Where to start with jazz?????


The last couple of weeks I've become hooked to a radio statio called KCSM in San Mateo, CA. I love every song, all day all night. Where do I start diving into this new genre? Jazz is my last undiscovered territory. I want it all! What do you recommend??? Please no smooth jazz!!!

i agree with many above, but 'must starts' to add:

dave brubek - time out

sonny rollins - saxaphone colossus

herbie handcock - headhunters (this may stretch your limits at first, but i would bet you grow to love it in time).

enjoy...
