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.

Dave Brubeck's "Time Out" one of the best selling jazz albums in history. It includes Take Five and other jazz standards. You will recognize many of the songs especially Take Five in about five seconds of playing. The current CD release of this 1959 release is HDCD.
The Brubeck Time Out CD in HDCD is on Columbia/Legacy. It is available everywhere even the BMG & Columbis Music Clubs.
