Pat Metheny group is not for someone just getting into jazz.

A lot of Coltrane isn't either, but here are some albums that are appropriate: Blue Train, Coltrane Jazz, Giant Steps

As far as trumpet goes, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, and Wynton Marsalis are all great.

Duke Ellington's Mood Indigo is great. A different sound than the Coltrane and Miles Davis, but definitely good.

Charles Mingus's Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus (or Mingus 5x) is fantastic and an album that I think everybody should own. If I were you and I were to buy only one album I would get this one.

Good luck. Jazz is great.
