help with music?

Hello,

I'm excited by new electonincs (thank you Roger), but music isn't really about equipment.
I'd love to expand my music collection. I feel confident in my music selections for classical, vocalists and country/bluegrass. Unfortunately I don't appreciate hip-hop
I'd love to get some ideas for jazz and rock.
In jazz I like Brubeck and Miles Davis but have been lost by some of the more complex forms of jazz.
My rock is almost all old collections (like Led Z. #1 and Aqualung). A helpful granchild brought over some heavy metal but I couldn't appreciate it. Another one brought over "Dark Side of the Moon" and I loved it.
So with that in mind, could anyone tell me what I might buy in the rock/jazz music? The wonderful new stereo equipment begs me for some new music.

Thanks

Congrats on your new equipment. I selected stuff that I love to hear anytime but particularly on new equipment to judge just how good that equipment can sound. If you liked Dark Side you may enjoy Pink Floyd's Meddle, and The Wall.

All the following CD's are exceptionally well recorded and performed: Some easy to love jazz are Beyond the Missouri Sky by Pat Metheny, At Ease with Coleman Hawkins, and Soul Station by Hank Mobley.
Two great recordings are The Ultimate Jesse Cook and Get Lucky by Mark Knopfer (of Dire Straits)
Finally to add to your classical, Malcolm Frager plays Chopin (wonderfully recorded using a Bosendorfer Piano). Piano Transcriptions by Volodos, and the Carnegie Hall Concert with Kissen and Levine
