Just some of my favorites
Kind of Blue really is the best intro to jazz. It's so simple and powerful that even though I'd listened to a number of jazz albums before hearing it, I appreciated jazz much more after hearing it.
Next I'd recommend the most powerful albums on an emotional level. Let My Children Hear Music by Charles Mingus is good for this, and is actually my favorite jazz album. It's pretty much the key "experimental big band" album, and it's literally avant garde jazz's stab at Bach-style dynamics (Mingus was obsessed with Bach, and this was his homage to him).
The next album I recommend is Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come. Don't let Coleman's status as the father of free jazz intimidate you - on this album Coleman did abandon conventional jazz structures, but note that he had mastered those structures, and on this he and his band were following logic, even if that logic was rooted in emotion and instinct. In other words, at this point they'd rejected conventional structures to more freely express themselves emotionally. The album is striking and powerful, and evokes emotions. At some points it's transcendent, at others it's downright uncomfortable, but it never loses you, even if you're new to jazz.
The other person I strongly recommend is Django Reinhardt. It's true that he's from far before the bebop era, back when jazz was used as simple pop and dancing music. But he was far ahead of his time - he was expressing himself in ways that hinted at the future bebop and free jazz musicians, even if almost none of his contemporaries were.

Okay but what in particular did you like about it?
>>65458320
Let me add Miles Davis - In a Silent Way to this list. It's his first album with electronical instuments
>>65457893
For jazz
>>65458320
I just realised that spellcheck really bungled the "Ornette" in Ornette Coleman lol.
>>65459096
Very nice addition
Can someone rec Django Reinhardt?
He didn't seem to record many full albums and his sessions are scattered all over a million comps.
>>65459274
The idea of the jazz record wasn't really around during his era, so you're stuck with comps. Basically, listen to song samples to ry to find the best quality recordings you can find, and obviously the longer the compilation, the better.

You can't read half of those titles anon, some of the covers don't even have text. How the fuck could any of that help a beginner if you don't put the artists / titles under the albums?
