With my previous attempts, I was overwhelmed by the vastness of it all: so much to listen to, so many good artists that recorded so much stuff.
But I always got stuck at a certain point; suffered from overkill and I ended up resorting to the same bunch of records (that I love).
I've included some of the albums I enjoy. I hope you guys can add on some personal favorites to the list and push me in the right direction. Even though I'm open for it, I'm not into hard-bop or other types of upbeat/experimental jazz. That could come in the future though, so please recommend whatever you like.
Right now, I'm mostly drawn to moody jazz (as you can see below). I searched the PF-archives, but could never come up with a comprehensive list.
Hope you can help me out!
