Jazz Music Anyone?
Hey, so I'm a huge music freak. I'm eclectic, meaning I love all music. The only thing I've noticed is that I don't have a lot of jazz. I thought I did, but I sure don't. So does anyone know any really great (or not so great) jazz artists out there that they'd like to share?

Hoo boy. You just asked a severely complex question. Jazz has nearly 100 years of history to pick from, any number of sub-genres and styles and variations, so you've got a lot of exploring ahead of you. Here's a list of some essential albums:
Thelonious Monk: Solo Monk
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
John Coltrane: A Love Supreme
Dave Brubeck: Time Out
Charles Mingus: Mingus Ah Um
Billie Holliday: Lady in Satin
Duke Ellington: Ellington at Newport 1956
Herbie Hancock: Headhunters
Not an essential album, but fun: Red Hot + Cool (early '90s acid jazz stuff. hip-hop, soul & jazz all dropped in a blender.)

Luis Lopes Quartet, Charles Mingus , Papa Mambo. That's what I can think of off the top of my head to get you started. Don't underestimate good old iTunes to give you good advice too.
