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.

I came up with the conclusion that Lounge Lizards band is one of the brightest pages in the world jazz history and current jazz and every jazz fan should get a grip on these guys. The recording quality is slightly better than average but everything has to be dedicated to music in their case.
visit www.nyjg.de and order some of their albums. you can also read about them in Jazz Thing issues that described at that link.
Gents, and Ladies Charlie Haden is performing Aug 26 at Blue Note celebrating his 65th birthday so hurry-up to New York to hear him unrecorded i.e. live.
