It's almost inevitable that you'll turn to books, so it's not really worth me saying - STAY AWAY FROM BOOKS - but each album of recorded music is worth many books. The most important thing is to ignite a true and versatile passion for discovery through listening. The best list of players I've heard so far was from Roachboy.
As far as others, I've always found Red Garland and Horace Silver to be good players to learn from.
