I have always enjoyed jazz but just recently started to really pay attention to listening it. So I'm looking for good album recommendations, it can be old or new , literally anything. So far I have enjoyed Miles Davis most and some Coltrane too.

Have a try with Dave Brubeck Quartet.  I started my jazz music enjoyment from those albums. =)

I have heard about the Dave Brubeck Quartet but haven't yet managed to listen them , I'm gonna check them out.

Since you like Miles I am going to assume you already have Bitches Brew, Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain, etc.
 
Coltrane - Giant Steps, Blue Train, A Love Supreme
Brubeck - Time Out, Impressions of Japan, Jazz Goes to College
Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners, Straight No Chaser, Thelonious in Action, the recent release of Monk with Coltrane at Carnegie Hall is really good
Chick Corea - Sundance, Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy, Akoustic Band
Charlie Parker - Bird and Diz, Jazz at the Philharmonic. most albums are OOP but the Yardbird Suite compilation is fantastic.
 
Some more guitar/keys-driven fusion-y stuff: Pat Metheny Group - Offramp, American Garage, First Circle
Jeff Beck: Blow by Blow, Wired
Mahavishnu Orchestra, Inner Mounting Flame

There are two very recent threads (as in they are still being regularly updated) right here in the "Music" section of the Head-Fi forum about jazz recommendations, both of which are filled great recommendations for anyone interested in jazz. I suggest that you have look at them.

Pat Metheny Group   (post 1990):    "Wish You Were Here",  "Speaking of Now",  "The Way Up".......and his latest ensemble "Unity Band" is killer music.  "Kin" is insanely good stuff.
 
Yellowjackets :  "Mint Jam", "Four Squared", "Altered States"
 
Antonio Sanchez:  "New Life"   

 

[serman005]

Chick Corea Elektric Band: "Light Years," "Inside Out," "Beneath the Mask."
 
The music and musicianship is breathtaking!

 

[Music Alchemist]

song: All Or Nothing
artist: Naoshi Mizuta
album: Final Fantasy XIII-2 Original Soundtrack
 
(This is my favorite jazz song!)

Maynard Ferguson!!! try Birdland first, that's probably my favorite song from his band, i listen to him almost every day. Chase is my second favorite, every song they make is excellent, then probably Weather Report.

Chet Baker is one of my favorites. A big time trumpet & fllugelhorn player. He could sing, too. Chet had a James Dean kind of coolness about him.
