Yah, I'll second Monk. Brilliant.
I'm really partital to early jazz- like from the 20s-30s. Any anthology out there will suffice- lots of infectious music there. Cab calloway, Count Basie, Louis Jordan, Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet.
For far out stuff- Sun Ra. Dizzy Gillespie for be-bop. Vocal Jazz- Lambert, Hendricks & Ross.
Look for the DVD "Jazz on a Summer's Day" - live recording of the legendary Newport Jazz Festival in I think 1964.
