My first Davis album was Birth of the Cool, soon after I got all of his other stuff. I have to say the remasted Sketches of Spain is my favorite right now (changes the more I listen to 'em go figure).
Pat Metheny is good. I've got all his PMG albums but haven't picked up his latest solo effort yet which I hear is good.
One disc I recomend is called The Rite of Strings which features Al DiMeola, Jean Luc-Ponty, & Stanley Clarke together as a trio. There's really not one bad song on it. Lots of good bass and pretty much covers the spectrum dynamically and stylistically.
Vocalists there's alot out there new and old. I just wish there were better recordings of some of the older stuff but that's to be expected.
