There certainly are, though Black Saint is one you should get immediately. Sorry if I sound pushy but Black Saint is probably my favorite album and when it doesnt make the cut in a jazz list of 200 that hurts my heart.

Well, I've heard around 95% of what you listed, but thanks anyway.
In my opinion and only my opinion, this would be a better way to start for beginners than the list you threw on the other thread.
