What Jazz CDs do you own?

I just bought a Kid Loco cd. It's a bit fo jazz, electronic, Indie, and classical. Good stuff.

I don't listen to a lot of Jazz but my parents have a GRIP of Jazz and they always play it like...
The Rippingtons and stuff like that

Norah Jones
 

Norah Jones is classified as Jazz right? She can actually SING...

Jazz is okay but... usually I'm not into the stereotypical slower jazz like smooth jazz or whichever category it falls under. I mean if I'm going to choose which music I'm going to listen to it's not going to be jazz. But if theres some bangin jazz beats playin I'll stop to listen lol ;)

well i own Miles Davis-Round Midnight, Sketches of Spain, and Kind of Blue
John Coltrane-Blue Train Ornette Coleman-Free Jazz unfortunatly i dont own that much.

Sade Greatest Hits

It appears that I'm a lot older than most of you posting here - but I have a huge passion for music - how cool is it when you turn people on to new stuff? Anyway, I have an extensive music collection in a variety of genres (2000+ CDs and a couple of hardrives full). For Jazz (several varieties) a few choices come to mind:
Charles Mingus - Best of
Wes Montgomery - Jazz Masters Series (This guy is a monster guitar player)
Weather Report - Heavy Weather
Return To Forever - Romantic Warrior
Spyro Gyra - Morning Dance
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
these are good starting points for old school jazz, smooth jazz, hard fusion, and new swing - check them out.

I have a lot of jazz on tape, collected over 30 plus years of listening, and I've just started building a CD collection of my old favourites plus new stuff. e.g.

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Weather Report - Heavy Weather
Lots of Bill Evans piano trios
Some Barney Kessel & Herb Ellis jazz guitar
Wind from the South - Claudia Acuna (Good contemporary jazz Singer )
+ Dexter Gordon, Canonball Adderley, Oscar Peterson etc etc

I enjoy listening to jazz, the good improvisers often surprise me with the directions they choose to take !

if norah jones is in this catagory then hers and I might add is an excellent cd.
