Jazz Recs?
Ok, so recently I picked up Miles Davis' Kind of Blue on the suggestion of a friend. I'm absolutely loving it, really cool stuff.
I was wondering if you fine folks might be able to suggest some other jazz albums I should take a look at. I know next to nothing about the style as yet so I can't really say exactly what I'm looking for...but it's something that I really want to get more into. Any suggestions?

Yah, I'll second Monk. Brilliant.
I'm really partital to early jazz- like from the 20s-30s. Any anthology out there will suffice- lots of infectious music there. Cab calloway, Count Basie, Louis Jordan, Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet. For far out stuff- Sun Ra. Dizzy Gillespie for be-bop. Vocal Jazz- Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. Look for the DVD "Jazz on a Summer's Day" - live recording of the legendary Newport Jazz Festival in I think 1964.

It might be on the less experimental side, but I really like Duke Ellington.
