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.

Pat Martino: "Live at Yoshi's" with Joey DeFrancesco and Billy Hart. One of the best Jazz recordings.

Charlie Haden & Chris Anderson: "None But The Lonely Hart" - beautiful bass and piano duo just before Anderson's death. Much better than Keith Jarrett's Jasmine, IMHO

Tord Gustavsen Trio: "Changing Places" Young Scandinavian Jazz. There are two more records "The Ground" and "Being There" into the series.

Ike Quebec: "Bossa Nova Soul Samba" look for remastered version.

Enico Rava: L'Opera Va". Pretty much anything Rava plays is incredible.

Tomasz Stanko Quartet: "Suspended Night" another great trumpeter - darker and more melancholic than Rava.
