My opinion on jazz (take it easy fellas. . .it's just my opinion) 99% is pure masturbatory crap, the other 1% is pure genius.
I cannot stand to listen to most modern jazz. The only people I know who can are other modern jazz musicians.
The classics of each era are good places to start.

This gross simplification might be found at a good library.

An outstanding list of recommendations in my humble opinion.
