I've been in Tenerife for the last 2 weeks and took about half a dozen jazz CD's to listen to, mainly to avoid the many lounge/bar singers with their annoying backing tapes.

In no particular order-

Django Reinhart (Swing from Paris)
Miles Davis (######es Brew/In a Silent Way)
Wes Montgomery (The Incredible Guitar of)
John Coltrane (Crecent)
Antonio Carlos Jobim (The Composer of Desafinado, plays)
Oscar Peterson (Night Train)

Mainly enjoying Django at the moment but this is because i just bought a Maccaferri.
