In Need of Good Jazz

So yeah, I am embarking into the dark fabled world of Jazz.

I know the mainstays and such (The Fitzgeralds, the Davis, the Coltranes, etc.) But I want more.

Recent downloads: Dave Brubeck and Django Rhienhardt

Suggestions?

    Not trying to be a dick, Jazz is nice. I only hear it in fancy places, though.

    Seriously, though, if you want to listen to something different, get the Herbie Hancock (yes the founding father) album Head Hunters.

    I like listening to some jazz on the local NPR station now and again. I don't know a damn thing about it, but I do enjoy it. As long as it isn't crazy jazz fusion stuff or whatever it's called where they're just playing a bunch of random notes.

    I agree.

    Also, I picked up a reissued copy of Bitches Brew at Cheapo's this weekend. You can't ever go wrong with Miles Davis.

    Charlie Hunter is a little more bluesy like B.B. or SRV.

    I didn't say he was as good as B.B. King. I said he was more blues than jazz in a nice way instead of saying he isn't jazz at all. Which he isn't. You like that better?
