I'm a newbie jazz listener, and I was just wondering if anyone could recommend...

[jmf1002]

...some good jazz musicians? So far, I've been really getting into Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and Chet Baker. Could anyone recommend some more really good ones pls? I don't need a whole list but perhaps a list from 1-10 (excluding the 3 I've listed above). Thanks a mil in advance.
