Don't miss "Time Out" by Dave Brubeck - that's got some great tunes.

Miles' "Kind of Blue" regularly wins polls of "The Best Jazz Album Ever", and I like it a lot.

It's easy to overlook the early recordings by Count Baisie, but as with the Loius Armstrong - you should look them out. It's jazz before it got up it's own arse.

I love 'Trane, but it took a long time for me to understand what I was hearing, and to start with I thought it was all just noise - so tread with caution - same goes for the later Miles' recordings - there's some bloody odd stuff in there.

Good luck - it pays off.
