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.

Charley Hayden's latest on Verve. "Nocturne" is a collection of Brazilian and other classics rearranged and played by heavyweights in a quartet setting. A couple of originals by Hayden in the same genre add to the compelling sound of this made-with-love CD. Excellent recording that bears repeated, and I do mean "repeated" listening. Try it.
