I basically thought of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Back in the USSR, Dear Prudence, Helter Skelter, etc... It's like "here's the Beatles in a nutshell, from happy rocky songs to psychedelic LSD Beatles".

Miles Davis.

A few tips on what albums are very welcome.

Firstly, Kind of Blue, of course. It's the most famous jazz album of all-time, plus you have Miles Davis AND John Coltrane on it! I would also recommend, in the line of modal jazz, his Milestones. If you wanna take a look at what Miles was doing before the modal jazz, listen to his official compilation album of cool jazz, The Birth of the Cool. Now, if you wanna know his jazz fusion moment, take a look at In a Silent Way (which have a young Herbie Hancock on it) and Bitches Brew. I think these are his most known and successful albums.

Just bought Kind of Blue. Gonna play it now. Thanks for the tips!

Playing it for the second time now. I love it!

Just downloaded your other 4 suggestions to figure out which one to buy next.

Hey, I don't know if you already listen to other jazz musicians or not, but I will assume you don't and take the liberty to recommend this classic albums to you (only if you're interested, of course):

Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out (Just listen to Take Five and Blue Rondo à la Turk. It's incredible!)

John Coltrane - Giant Steps and A Love Supreme

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters (best jazz funk album of all-time, imo)

For a more contemporary jazz, listen to Branford Marsalis' Requiem. Listen to this beatiful song!

There's also Wynton Marsalis' Black Codes (From the Underground).

That's it. I hope you'll enjoy it.

I like some of the more jazzy work of say BB King or Ray Charles. And I've always loved some classic stuff like Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone or Louis Armstrong. My girlfriend also just picked up some Count Basie and some Billy Holiday. I'll give that a go as well. Maybe some Duke Ellington. I just kind of liked what I happened to run into but never really bothered to explore the genre other than that.

I'm not really digging Bitches Brew. It's so...chaotic. And yes, that is somewhat the point of it, but still. I didn't like experimental Pink Floyd at first either but I'm a big fan of it now, so I'll just give this some more spins and see where it goes.

But my first impression is a bit meh. I did really like Milestones and Birth Of The Cool was pretty fun too.

I'll try some of the other stuff later. Thanks again! :)

I NEVER liked Bitches Brew nor In a Silent Way. As you said, it's too chaotic--I couldn't agree more. Nothing makes sense to me in those two albums, and they're boring as hell. I just put them there because of their status in Miles' carrier. The so-callled "modal jazz" is way more palatable and easy to listen than "fusion jazz". But the others I recommended are "easy" too.

I'll definitely check them out! I've heard a few songs by the last two.

I actually saw both Jukebox the Ghost and Vampire Weekend live last month. The JtG concert was second only to the two Guns N' Roses concerts I've been to. Ben Thornewill's voice is gold. Even got a picture with him!
