Can anyone reccomend some good jazz :o?

[iron mitchell]

but of course...

john zorn's "godard/spillane"
flying luttenbacher's "infection and decline" or "destroy all music"
miles davis's "bitch's brew"
han bennink's "the laughing owl"
peter brotzmann's "machine gun"
eric dolphy's "out there"

[Rongi]

Thanks :)! I'll be sure to check em all out.

Get some classic Charlie Parker while your at it, all iron mitchell's picks are great also.

A good way to feel about for what you may like in jazz is to pick up some of the jazz sampler CDs compiled by Ken Burns. He has a lot of the major artists broken up into different genres on CD.

Charlie Parker, Chet Baker, Thelonious Monk

Bitches Brew is long, but ill be damned if it doesn't kick ass.

Also, check out "Monkey Blake" from the Jazz Mandolin Project. They kick ass simply because their main instrument is a mandolin.
Addison Groove Project kicks ass, too.

Trumpet: Miles Davis, Herb Alpert

Sax: Charlie Parker, Coltrane

Bass: Stanley Clarke, Jaco Pastorius

Piano: Thelonious Monk

Guitar: Wes Montgomery, Lee Ritenour

Big Band: Cab Calloway, Dizzy Gillespie

Those are some of the best IMHO but it's all relative, really. It's really a question of experimentation. That's why I originally suggested getting a sampler CD to find out what interests you.

Oh yeah, het John Zorn's painkiller project. It's great jazz!

[Ronnie Raygun]

BITCHES BREW!!!
