In a nutshell, virtually any good jazz piano or guitar trio/quartet should get you started. Since you are relatively new to jazz, I'd suggest you try the following:
1. Piano groups led by: Bill Evans, Kenny Barron, Marian McPartland, Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, Michel Petrucciani, Bill Charlap, McCoy Tyner, Tommy Flanagan, Teddy Wilson, George Shearing, Erroll Garner, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea (check out his duet recordings with vibist Gary Burton) and Keith Jarrett (try both his recordings from solo concerts and with his "Standards" trio). If you have listened to enough jazz to enjoy some more challenging bop-style piano, then add Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, and Horace Silver to the list. Last, if you like Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz, listen to the terrific work being done by Michel Camilo, Eliane Elias, and Chucho Valdes.
2. Guitar groups led by: Wes Montgomery, Charlie Byrd, Grant Green, Jim Hall, Joe Pass, Kenny Burrell, Bill Frisell, John Abercrombie, Pat Metheny, Tal Farlow, Herb Ellis, Barney Kessel, Jimmy Raney, Django Reinhardt, and Charlie Christian.
3. You can also try recordings by groups such as the Modern Jazz Quartet (which has no horns), or other horn-less groups such as the group that Ron Carter (bass player) led in the mid to late 1970's. His recording, "Piccolo" features Carter playing piccolo bass, plus piano, drums, and another bass player.
