Here are some to consider that demonstrate the range of great instrumental jazz:
Coltrane "Giant Steps" and "Ballads"
Keith Jarret "The Koln Concerts" (improvisational solo piano) and "The Melody at Night, With You" -- and lots of his classic trio recordings
Oscar Peterson "Night Train"
Arne Domnerus, "Jazz at the Pawnshop"
Bill Evans, "Sunday at the Village Vanguard"
Miles Davis, "'Round Midnight"
Al DiMeola, Paco deLucia, John McGlaughlin, "Friday Night in San Francisco"
Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden, "Under the Missouri Sky"
And so on, and so on, and so on...
Happy listening!
