Old Skool Jazz:
Miles Davis - You are my everything
Miles Davis - So What
Charlie Parker - *anything you can get your hands on* (I've got the complete savoy/dial recordings on 7 CD's)
John Coltrane - anything, but my fave is "Coltrane Jazz" album
Dizzy Gilespie - again, anything, but I especially like the "Talkin Verve" album compilation
Paquito d'Rivera - any of his stuff is good, but I'm just a sucker for "Island Cafe"
Arturo Sandoval - all of his stuff is great; phenomenal trumpeter. I especially dig the movie album "For love or country" and his early 90's release, "Americana".
Duke Ellington - his stuff isnt bad, but it gets rather "dry" after awhile. I vote for any greatest hits album.
Count Basie - if you love to swing, and laid-back is your thing, check him out. Personally I think its my fave kind of jazz to actually PLAY, but I don't tend to listen to it much.
OK, well thats enough digression for one reply..... more to follow sometime later.
