I like a bunch of the old Blue Note musicians. Tina Brooks is a great and often overlooked one. Try his True Blue.
Others on Blue Note: Dexter Gordon, Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Lee Morgan, Cannonball Adderly, Lou Donaldson.
Also, of course, the late-50s/early-60s stuff by Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Monk.
