Recommend some Jazz to me

A friend and I have been checking out some Jazz records recently. Mostly Miles Davis 1st and 2nd great quintet stuff. He turned me on to Bill Evans - Sunday at the Village Vanguard, which I have been enjoying.

Someone in another recent thread recommended Elvin Jones - Poly-currents. I listened to the 1st track and it knocked me off my feet. Of course we're familair with Brubeck - Time Out. We're both drummers and I took a couple of lessons with Morello back in the day. I've also checked out some Milt Jackson.

What other artists or records would you recommend? They don't have to be great "drum" records per se. Hi fidelity recordings are a bonus.


Thanks!

Joe

check out any of the albums in Bernard Purdie's discography here.

He is one of the smoothest drummers there is. Also one of the most in demand studio drummers, he has recorded with all the best jazz musicians. Featured on Steely Dan Gaucho, his understated tight rhythms will remind you of Morello. His own albums also reflect that style. Emphasis on musicians working in concert, not just trying to outdo each other.
