Jazz Recommendations


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.

Well, I don't claim to be well-versed or well-schooled in jazz music by any means, but I own a lot of it. Here are my favs:

-Bela Fleck + Flecktones: Live Art
-John Mclaughlin + Mahavishnu Orchestra: Inner Mounting Flame
-Coltrane: Giant Steps
-Davis: The Complete Concert 1964 (live 2 disc set)
-Davis and Coltrane: Miles and Coltrane
-John Scofield: A Go Go
-Medeski, Martin and Wood: It's a Jungle in Here
