    You didn't pinpoint anything lol. Jazz is a broad genre that encompasses MANY different styles.

    John Coltrane is the best. If you want something a little more accessible, look up Charlie Watts' jazz albums. Watts day gig is drummer for the Rolling Stones, but he has a first rate jazz band as a side project and their albums are very good. Start with Watts' at Scotts, or Long Ago and Far Away.

    If you like jazz piano, the starting place is Art Tatum's Group Masterpieces Vol. 1-8. Each is amazing in it's own right.
