Well it really comes down to what styles of jazz that you like, Early dixieland new orleans jazz, swing/big band, bop, hard bop, avant garde, ect ect ect.

THen it comes down to what kind of combo you like. Do you prefer piano jazz or horn driven stuff.

Piano,
Dave Brubek, ART TATUM, (alot of the greats are already listed) Jimmy CLliff (organ) Chucho Valdez (spelling on the first name) Kieth Jarett, Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, ect ect ect (mostly mainstream)

Sax
Sonny ROllins, Charlie Parker, Kenny G (bwahahaha) Sidney Bechet, COleman Hawkins, Dexter GOrdon, Najee (contemporary) Brandofr Marsalis Wayne SHorter Cannonball Adderly, Stan Getz

Trumpet,
Miles freddy hubbard, dizzie gillespie, or corse Louie Armstrong, Chuck Mangione, Hotlips Paige, so many more Wynton Marsalis

Bass,
CHarles Mingus, Stanley Clarke Victor WOoten (whoom i had the pleasure of meeting twice) Oteil Brunbridge (spelling) CHarlie Hayden, Ray Brown, CHristian Mcbride

Vibes
Lionel Hampton (can't think of any more lolol)

Drums
(Buddy Rich Gene Krupa, TOny WIlliams) can't think of alot right now

Groups
Try the miles davis Quintet, the modern jazz quartet.......you knwo...

Okay if you really really really really really want to get a clue about jazz LIsten to Mainstream Jazz on NPR..

And buy the Ken Burns JAZZ 10 dvd set and get started knowing exactly what you want to hear to build your colection.

THat will be an invaluable 150 dollars that will make you sport a woody every time you think about jazz.
