NT.. school me on jazz music

How I discovered Jazz:

Find an artist/album you like and study the liner notes. Check out every ensemble your favorite artist has played with, every artist in the ensemble on your favorite record. You'll learn what you like, etc.

My suggestion would be to start with Kind of Blue. It features some of the greats. Miles in his Prime, a young Coltrane, Mr. P.C, Cannonball and so on.

Move to A Love Supreme Suite. Features the Coltrane Classic Quartet. Hands down the best Jazz Quartet of all time.

But.. Another route would be to start with some earlier artists as mentioned by some other people.

i.e. Duke, Bird, Dizz, Monk.......and the list goes on. Good post.
