for someone just getting into jazz.
I like the classic jazz from the '50s and '60s. Try Miles Davis'
Kind of Blue or any of his albums on the Prestige label. They are all excellently recorded. As a general rule, any release that had Rudy Van Gelder as the recording engineer will sound nice. Dave Brubeck
Time Out is another easy to listen entry point into jazz. Sonny Rollins'
Saxophone Collosus is a great album. John Coltrane is one of my favorites and his signature album
A Love Supreme is a masterpiece but it is a little harder to appreciate for someone new to jazz. Some of my other favorite artists are Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Charlie Parker. For more recent artists, try Joshua Redman and the Rippingtons.
