I am just starting to get into Jazz. I recently bought Thelonious Monk Quartet "Live at Monterey" and was blown away. Could you recommend other mainstream Jazz recordings that I should have in a basic collection to help me get started.
Eventhough it is not considered "classic" jazz, one of my favorite modern jazz albums is "Three-Way Mirror" with Airto Moreira, Flora Purim and Joe Farrell. It is an exceptional piece of work and is on the Reference Recordings label.
Speaking of bass players I just picked up a fairly new CD by Michael Manring called "The Book of Flame". Both the recording and performance is exception.
Patricia Barber is one of my favorites when it comes to jazz female vocals; what a talented individual. "Modern Cool" and "Cafe Blue" are especially good.
