I am absolutely a jazz novice--I love jazz but don't know much about it. I dig Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Thelonious Monk, and would appreciate any recs based on that.

I'm sure that's the equivalent of going into a rock thread and saying "I love The Rolling Stones, the Who, and Led Zeppelin, give me some recs" but I don't have any better frame of reference.

For whatever it's worth, I have tried listening to Herbie Hancock's Headhunters and despite the critical acclaim I absolutely do not get it, if that helps to refine my tastes any.

New or old artists, do not care!

it's a broad request for sure.

just breaking off a piece, but since you like monk check out live at the it club. it's my favorite monk album and iunno that's it i guess.

actually i have a weird hunch you'd like hard bop, so here's a couple more.

horace silver - song for my father and cape verdean blues

art blakey - paris 1958

johnny griffin - introducing johnny griffin

cannonball adderly - live in chicago with coltrane

john coltrane - blue trane

uh, there's a zillion more, but off the top of my head

Pretty sure I had songs from each of these albums on my big jazz playlist, but it was nice listening to the albums. I'll look more into hard bop. Thanks a ton for the recs on a difficult ask!

dunno how long youtube will leave this up, but here's a deep rear end cut of some of the very best of the early 2000s playing swing for altman's kansas city movie. had to pay to import a vhs from the us and get it ripped to digital, but it was worth it.
