Ok /mu/ I've discovered I really like jazz but I'm still very new to the genre so I'd like a few recommendations. Are there any particular authors/bands/songs I should listen to? What about sub genres? And so on

try radiohead
im p new too but this flowcharts been pretty helpful (not sure if a jazz veteran would approve)
Ok, here we go.
>Kind of Blue (modal)
>Idle Moments (modal)
>Blue Train (hard bop)
>The Shape of Jazz to Come (avant-garde)
>Soul Station (hard bop)
>Time Out (cool)
>You Must Believe In Spring (cool)
>I Want To Hold Your Hand [Grant Gree] (latin/soul)
Bonus:
>Maiden Voyage (more challenging tho')
My advice is to start with the easily accessible jazz artists such as Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald.
Once you're comfortable with them, move onto something a little more interesting like Thelonious Monk.

Thanks anon! Do you have anything bebop I could try?
>>65581664
Charlie Parker's Savoy and Dial Masters.
Does /mu/ have a thread always open, full of charts for people wanting to get into 'x'.
If it doesn't, it should.

>Do you have anything bebop I could try?
I'd have to rec you The Quintet - Jazz at Massey Hall, one of the greatest records I've heard. But keep in mind bebop is a hell of a fast 'subgenre'. I'd suggest you to experience it later.
Personally I think you should always start with the Holy Trinity: Davis, Coltrane and Mingus.
Then, from there use the chars and branch out.
