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

Another great title is Cannonball Adderley's "Know What I Mean", featuring Bill Evans. It includes a great version of Evan's own Waltz For Debby.

The other artist(also a trumpeter) not yet mentioned that will likely appeal to you is Chet Baker. If Miles is the king of the "cool school", Chet Baker is the prince. "Chet" is a good place to start, although "Chet Baker Sings" is my personal favorite. Cheers,
