Maybe, but we have no idea what other types of music the OP likes, since he never mentioned it. So I'll bite back and say that he shouldn't listen to new jazz because 99% percent of it can't hold a candle to jazz pre-1980.
I think that if the OP listens to amazon samples of all of the albums mentioned thus far, and then buys those that seem most appealing to him, he'll have a fine starter collection of excellent jazz.
