Jazz Recommendations


I am just starting to get into Jazz. I recently bought Thelonious Monk Quartet "Live at Monterey" and was blown away. Could you recommend other mainstream Jazz recordings that I should have in a basic collection to help me get started.

Charles Fambrough's The Charmer, Keeper of the Spirit and Upright Citizen are very good. Michael Wolff's - self titled and Impure Thoughts. Also, Steve Allee's - The Magic Hour and Mirage. These are artist who get little attention or respect but put out great music. They may be a little hard to find but go to half.com and you might get lucky. Remember - if music be the food of life .... Jazz is one of its delicacies.
I second the Manu Katche - neighborhood cd and recommend the Eldar - live at the blue note and George Duke - in a mellow tone cds.
