Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue

Gents, please advice on picking up some jazz music. I am not so much into classic Jazz sound, but I found Miles Davis' Kind of Blue to be impressive. I would say the same thing to the song "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck.

I have so far sampled "Steps to Heaven", "Someday My Prince Will Come" and "Miles Ahead", but none of them come close to "Kind of Blue", IMHO. Can you point me to similar albums - Miles or others?

Thanks

I agree with all previous "evident suspects" simply because I got most of the albums as LPs or XRCDs.
My five cents (rather a million-dollar advise, posted here for free!):
Khmer by Nils Petter Molvaer, if you love Miles you will love this album.
also, ECM released a lot of "must-have" albums since 2006

ALEXATPOS: I, for once, will be glad to see a "must-have" list from a jazz aficionado. We are here to learn, not just nurturing egos or chitchatting (well, that is too). May I ask you to put your extended list as a list of albums, not YouTube links, Please?
