I like all those bands too, especially the Dead. You should try the new John Mayer cd, Continuum. It really is great. But rather than suggest more familiar types of music, please allow me to use this chance to introduce you to some musicians that are purely about the music. Take a chance On these albums.

I've only been listening to jazz for a few years now and can still remember being excited about it, but not really knowing where to start. I'd be happy to give some suggestions.

John Ellis was the sax player in Charlie Hunter's band. Ellis's own stuff is really amazing (very different from Hunter's music). Please, do yourself a favor and get this album. See them live too, if you get the chance.

The Blue Note record label had great records, especially in the 1960's. The musicians all played on each other's albums. It was a community of great musicians who inspired each other. Here are some amazing classics.

Guitar, piano, bass and drums. This album has real great chemistry within the band, it flows really nice.

Horace Silver played with a lot of feel, and groove. This is a really great album by him.

Another amzing Blue Note album.

After I bought this album, I went back to the store and I asked a guy there who had originally suggested it to me if there was another musician who swings like Monk. He looked at me real serious and said "NOBODY, swings like Monk!" Now, I know he was right. Here's the album he turned me onto.

This is my first album that got me really interested in jazz. I still love hearing it.

Mingus is the real deal, anything with Dolphy in his band is usually great. Try this one.
http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql...

John Coltrane is great. Try anything from 1960-1965 (for starters).

http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql... Theres's also a 4 disc box set if you like the one disc cd and you want more.

Of course, the best selling jazz album of all time. It really does live up to the hype.

I hope you try at least one of these. Regardless, I hope you check out jazz music. If you're interested in any more suggestions, I'm happy to help, you can send a message to me for more suggestions if you want to. Enjoy.
