Good suggestions I love RCR. But how could you forget vocal Jazz ie Billie Holiday? Louis Armstrongs hot 7 stuff is so good. Id also suggest Benny Goodman for big band. I dont care much for the fusion stuff but Dizzy Gelespie did do some cool stuff with it. Id also recomend Charles Mingus, sooo good.
