My first Jazz cd

I would really like to try some Jazz but I dont know where to start. I was thinking of the Time Life series. I thought that it would let my audtion many different artist at once and give me a chance to get a feel for what I like.

Does that set have a good selection of music? How is the recording quality? Any other suggestions are more then appreciated.

First Five to buy:

Miles Davis: Kind of Blue. If you own a Jazz collection, you must own this CD. It's a given.

Charlie Mingus: Ah-Um. GREAT album. Great players. Great recording.

Weather Report: Heavy Weather. Great '70s side of Jazz. Jaco Pastorius rules the bass world.

John Coltrane: Blue Train. Gotta have it.

Anything by Kenny Barron or McCoy Tyner. Great pianists deserve a place in your collection.

Next up on the list: Duke Ellington, Parker, Herbie Hancock...just mix it up.

Cheers!
