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.

Anything by the Dave Holland Quartet. 'Prime Directive (ECM 1698)', 'Points of View (ECM 1663)', 'Not For Nothin (ECM 1758)'
Steve Turre 'TNT (Telarc CD-83529)'
Nicholas Payton 'Paytons Place (Verve 3145573272)
Gary Burton 'Gary Burton and Friends (Concord Jazz CCD47492)

In general, I like these labels: ECM, Concord, Verve.
