My first Jazz cd


I would really like to try some Jazz but I dont know where to start. I was thinking of the Time Life series. I thought that it would let my audtion many different artist at once and give me a chance to get a feel for what I like.

Does that set have a good selection of music? How is the recording quality? Any other suggestions are more then appreciated.

I second the Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" album as well as the John Coltrane "Blue Train". I also recommend Duke Ellington : "Live at Newport". Even though it's a live recording it's a great album. If your looking for more modern jazz, look into Joshua Redmond's "Beyond" album. I think this is his newest one and it's also a great album. I could go on and on about other jazz artists, just start listening and have fun.
