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

There are many people who love Duke Ellington (big band/swing) I am one of them as well, many of the artists that played with Duke also did solo work. Johnny Hodges (saxaphone) is one of the these artists. Also, Jimmy Smith is one of my all time favorite jazz musicians (Hammond B3 organ). I have to mention Count Basie (88 Basie Street).

 If you like fusion period check out Billy Cobham (awesome drummer) album (Spectrum), Herbie Hancock (Head Hunters) Lonnie Liston Smith (Expansions).
