Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue

Gents, please advice on picking up some jazz music. I am not so much into classic Jazz sound, but I found Miles Davis' Kind of Blue to be impressive. I would say the same thing to the song "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck.

I have so far sampled "Steps to Heaven", "Someday My Prince Will Come" and "Miles Ahead", but none of them come close to "Kind of Blue", IMHO. Can you point me to similar albums - Miles or others?

Thanks

the Cannonball Adderly album is a good suggestion.

I would also highly recommend two albums by Bill Evans (the pianist on most of Kind of Blue): "Waltz for Debby" and "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" (in that order). Awesome albums, and I think you will find them extremely enjoyable.
