I hate to come off as an old-school jazz elitist, but when it comes to big band, there's Duke Ellington, then Count Basie, and then, a few miles behind, everyone else. They are the cream of the crop, and unless you really can't stand listening to recordings from the 30's and 40's (they both continued on into the 70's, and Duke had been recording since the 20's, but these decades were their heyday), they are who you should start with.
