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.

One of the best sources for building a jazz collection
is the Concord Records catalog. Great artists, great sounding recordings and great deals.
Bob's site continues to be an excellent source for
the best in jazz:

Best new Jazz purchase of 2007(so far):

Steve Khun Trio- Live at Birdland-Blue Note

Steve Kuhn - piano
Ron Carter - bass
Al Foster - drums

Great music/Great recording.
I agree, Chris Potter's "Follow the Red Line" is a great!

Try Jason Lindner's Big Band- "Live At The Jazz Gallery."
