by the way: now i'm listening e.S.T. "winter in venice" while writing this lines.

(got to start somewhere... )

thanks everyone who contribute to the sugestions/post...

Not sure if you are in the UK, but if so and looking for some introduction to / mainstream jazz ... try checking out Jamie Callum's show on BBC Radio 2 (Tuesday's at 7pm).  I've found a lot of interesting stuff from the wider "jazz" repertoire on there.

But lets hope enjoyable.

Dave.... You where right: Bill Evans did impress me the most. (I do liked E.S.T too). Seems HH and CliveB did well, pointing me de village vanguard albums

Try this one - very much more up to date, and really excellent. Pieranunzi is a wonderful pianist, and you won't get a better rhythm section.

Dear "forumites";

it as been a busy week: listening and exploring a new universe (jazz) of possibilities, while working...

(tryed to maximize time, by making a background ambience with the diferente choices of music).

One of my strangest reactions was when listening to Bitches Brew, by Miles: what a contrast beetween this album and Kind of BLue.

had to admit: at leat he was trying to move forward the sounds....

Became highly fan of Bill Evans,  liked E.S.T. too and currently hearing Pieranunzi, following HH sugestion.

Keep  opinions/suggestions coming... i'll appreciate .

Thanks again for all the inputs...

Art Pepper is wonderful: his 'Meets the rhythm section' and the four Village Vanguard albums are some of my very favourites. 

"Meets the Rhythm Section" - specifically "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" - has been one of my trusted demo tracks for about 20 years.  It's been used to decided a number of upgrades to my LP12, power sources and speakers. Great album, both musically and from a recording perspective.  In fact, in reply to the OP, any music from the Contemporary, Riverside, Concorde (or any of the other Fantasy owned labels) will usually represent some of the best jazz from the LP era.

Try any or all three albums by the "Very Tall Band"--Milt Jackson, Oscar Peterson and Ray Brown.  Available cheaply, immediately enjoyable and less out there than a lot of the above recommendations.  I'd say the same for Art Pepper.

And don't think less of yourself if you don't like something. It doesn't mean you are somehow lacking in sophistication and have to try harder.

Be careful - they are available as reissues from Europe from Wax Time or one of the other companies taking advantage of the shorter copyright period on masters in Europe.  Can't say it specifically applies in this case, but they are typically mastering from CD and, even though they are 180g pressings, the quality does not match the original analogue LP's.  Of course, if you're buying on CD this is not an issue - you may find them on Discogs or fleabay.
