Re: who to start listening to...

EVERYONE!!!! Miles for sure, Louis Armstrong, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, CHET BAKER, BLUE MITCHELL, Kenny Dorham, Lester Young, Ingrid Jensen, Dave Douglas, Roy Hargrove, Clark Terry, Clifford Brown, Claudio Roditi, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Michael Brecker, Woody Shaw, Fats Navarro, Tiger Okoshi, Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Ornette Coleman, Joe Gilman, Dexter Gordon, Buddy Rich, Gary Burton, Ray Brown, Charles Mingus, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Lester Bowie, Roy Eldridge, King Oliver, Bix Beiderbecke, and Count Basie just to name a few.

And then, go through any other musical genres you might like. I get ideas from many places outside the jazz world including country, pop, rock, metal, indie, classical, etc. You can never have too many things to listen to or be inspired by.

Best of luck to you and enjoy!
