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.

Here are a few of my faves: 1) Oscar Peterson Trio - West Side Story 2) Bill Evans - At Montreux 3) Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage 4) Gil Evans - Out of the Cool 5) Kenny Burrell - Guitar Forms 6) Cannonball Adderly w/ Miles Davis - Somethin' Else 7) Stan Getz/ Charlie Byrd - Jazz Samba 8) Horace Silver - Silver's Blue 9) Ahmad Jamal's Alhambra 10) Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners Oh, BTW, no Jazz-lover's collection is complete without Vince Guaraldi Trio - A Charlie Brown Christmas!! Good Luck, listen to as much live Jazz as you can, and Happy Holidays to all!!
