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'm more of a Macallan's scotch drinker myself but I did enjoy the put down of Diana Krall. Let's face it Jazz is many things to many people. Here are a few recordings to look for. Maybe not as an entry point, but there are many great examples of intro to jazz here already, but if you get into trying out different things you may find some pleasure here.

Susie Ibarra - Songbird Suite - Tzadik
William Parker Violin Trio - Scrapbook - Thirsty Ear
Anouar Brahem - Le Pas De Chat Noir - ECM
Chicago Underground Trio - Slon - Thrill Jockey

hope you can track down a few of these
