I'm still new to jazz, but I've been amassing a lot of it this past year.
I like these if I can suggest something other than "Kind of Blue" for intro to jazz.
Oliver Nelson -- Blues and The Abstract Truth
Donald Byrd -- Mustang
Lou Donaldson -- Fried Buzzard
Cannonball Adderly -- Somethin' Else
Sonny Clark -- Sonny's Crib
