Not to contradict any of the above but if it is actually jazz you're after
then you're into another type of music that has a ton of different genres
and sub-genres. If it's my kind of cool jazz then:-
John Coltrane is good but he has released lots of different stuff. Try his
'Ballads', 'Coltrane' or 'Lush Life' for mellow grooves; try his album 'The
Avant-Garde' w/ Don Cherry for something with a bit more up-tempo. Try also
'The Shape of Jazz to Come' by Ornette Coleman or pretty much anything by
Eric Dolphy (a good starter is 'The Essential Eric Dolphy' [no duh!] I know
this isn't the up-their-owns-backends jazz appreciation list so I'll cut
this short here.
