Forgive me if this has come up, but Spotify recently introduced me to Jacques Brel (specifically "la Chanson de Jacky"), and by extension Scott Walker. Other than letting Spotify play Jacques Brel radio, where do I go from here? Don't care if its English, French, or gibberish, just love the sound.

I've been trying to listen to more jazz lately. I've found that I like music that is focused on the piano, saxophone, and/or drums, so I've listened to things by Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, and Buddy Rich. What are the key albums by these artists? Where should I branch out to from there based on the artists I listed? I know "jazz" is a huge subject but any direction would be appreciated.

Phone posting but will try to remember later. For starters, Dave Brubeck and Charles Mingus.

Edit: and Charlie Parker and Thelonius Monk.

I left out Giant Steps because I'm of the belief you sort of need to know the backstory and such and maybe listen to the other three because they just sounds so good first. Things like Ascension I would listen to every night before bed but again, it's the concept of a massive group improv which may sound like noise to some.
Giant Steps is just a monster, and a song that I find myself revisiting constantly.
I last took music theory in high school (30 years ago), but I think this does a great job talking about what's going on musically with it and why it's so great:

Also, I mentioned Dave Brubeck, and his Time Out is a lot of people's first jazz album for good reason. In your case, it's got piano, drums, and sax (and bass).
Everyone knows Take Five, but for my money, this is the best song on the album:

And Pick up Sticks should take you back to a nice NY apartment in the 1950s.

I've been loving Invisible Touch recently, what other Genesis should I check out? Doesn't have to be Phil Era either.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is my fave Peter Gabriel Genesis, and I suppose Abacab is my fave from Phil-led Genesis.
Seconding Abacab as an absolute masterwork of 80s rock, but also if you've got any inclination toward prog rock, Selling England By The Pound is a classic of the genre.

Also, his breakthrough, Party and Bullshit, is not on either of his two main albums but is a goddamn banger and may be his best work.

If you get totally hooked, he's got a lot of great guest verses as well.

Just in awe of this

I'm assuming you don't live in the US? Or weren't listening to mainstream music in the late 90s and 2000s?
Or were in a coma for 25 years?

Edit: Also, for real, listen to more Wallflowers and report back. My GF at the time LOVED them and I remember them being so bland as to be almost impossible to remember.

A lot of great stuff listed here, but posting to say

-Deltron 3030 "Deltron 3030"
is one of the greatest albums of all time. Not rap album or experimental album, but album.

The samples/production are unbelievable and Del somehow makes rapping about a future with Gundams having rap battles work.
