10 Recommended Jazz Albums

Jazz can be overwhelming to get into. Where do you even start? There’s so many different styles and sounds. I was always interested in the music genre and had enjoyed such acts as Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie, and even the 90s swing revival, but had never really explored the genre in full. Lately, I’ve been doing a deep dive. There’s certainly a lot to cover as jazz spans multiple generations and genres. I’m only just scraping the surface, but it’s been a fun and educational journey. If you’re like me and are curious to explore jazz further, I have written up a list of 10 recommended albums to check out. This is by no means a comprehensive list. I could have easily added albums by Charles Mingus, Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans, and so on.
