    Theres a few kinds of jazz, which I don't know really know much about. I've never really taken a liking to euro jazz, but I know some people love it.

    A couple of albums that I keep going back to from the 50s American jazz era are:

    Modern Art by Art Pepper https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVG1KRr_9ktEye--z0sf8ChytezlgiTht&feature=shared

    The Jazz Piano of John Coates Jr https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mWvsBp7kmz03sn67vzxKektbbhA1Z3Mfg&feature=shared

    Also anything by Buddy Rich
