As the title says. Only stuff I've listened to is John Coltrane (A Love Supreme), Miles Davis (Kind of Blue, Bitches Brew), and Tom Waits (Mule Variations, Rain Dogs, Swordfishtrombones). I don't know how much Tom Waits count as jazz, but I figured I'd throw him in.
While I haven't listened to a lot, what I have listened to I really liked  , so if some of you can point me in the right direction that would be fantastic. Because I'm new to this genre something more accessible might be better, more so than something for an experienced jazz listener. Thanks!

Well, if you haven't heard The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady yet, I highly recommend that. As for stuff a bit lower on the list, Hank Mobley's Soul Station and Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder are fantastic easy going bop albums.

I don' think Laughing Stock counts, but whatevs.
Check out Pharoah Sanders (promoted from Colonel Sanders  ) and Duke Ellington. Also try Davis' Blue Moods EP.

Yeah, Black Saint is the GOAT and is a must listen. Also check out Mingus Ah Um and Blues and Roots for a more conventional jazz albums by Mingus.

Yeah didn't think so, but I had read somewhere that it was jazz-ish so I figured I'd throw it in the list.
I've had that Charles Mingus album for a while now but never listened to it, I'll make sure that I do, never knew it was that good.
