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.

"Jazz At the Pawnshop" (XRCD2) and Benny Green's "Testifyin" are two very good live recordings that you'll ever hear.
You won't regret buying "Jazz at the Pawnshop", Benny Green's "Testifying" and Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington's "The Great Summit/Master Tapes." All three are recorded well and very analog sounding.
