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.

for an online jazz source try kkjz.org. it is kkjz 88.1 in LA. jazz all the time, blues on sat and sun from 2-7pm, jazz on the latin side on friday 6-10p. the greatest hosts on the air, chuck niles, sam fields and more.

this is the cal state long geach radio station which survives mostly on member contributions. they now have a playlist to check what played and when just in case you didnt hear the announcer identify the tkune he just played.

another resource is All Music Guide at
http://www.allmusic.com

this is exceedingly valuable and its free. it is available in print but the true value is on line.
