I'm gonna have to kick in for Charlie Parker. Recently a recording was found which had CP and Dizzy Gillespie which is astounding. Look for it. It will give you a feel for the old style of bebop and the form of most jazz music.

I was thinking about bird too, but really didn't know where to start the OP off. Some Good ones are Bird&Diz, the Toronto Concert(it has Mingus, max roach, and bud powell, its really good)
