Mr. Improv talks a lot of sense. And writes very wonderful posts I think.
Jazz Record Requests is a programme I listen to, I don't like some of it but it gives you a taster for what you might get into. I have had two requests played, one was Ornette 'Rambling' (which I defy anyone to not dance around the fountain to) and the other was Avishai Cohen 'Nu Nu' (that was me being a bit naughty - I bet all the listeners hated it - I expect the Jassers did too!)
I did, I must say, have a lot of guidance from the BBC R3 Jassers, in particular to Herbie Hancocks and piano music.

Gulp! Following mr improv's post I've been nervously checking to see what Blue Note CDs I've got with a view to hiding them discreetly from prying eyes.
But ...
Billie Holliday: Billie's Blues
Thelonious Monk: The Blue Note Years
They're all right to be seen in respectable company aren't they?

IMPORTANT before starting....you must learn to click your fingers, while nodding, legs should be crossed and posture laid -back, sometimes its beneficial to tap one knee, you should be trying to simulate playing the entire rhythm section using any part of the body that can keep time,one foot should be the bass drum, the other should just shimmy about in a kinda zig zag....motion....this does not imitate anything musical, this just for hip effect....every now and again say/yell....'YEAH!!'....

To get some sort of rough way in, I'd recommend starting with the following:
Jelly Roll Morton - Complete Recorded Works (an ultra-cheap boxed set)
Louis Armstrong - Hot Fives and Sevens (ditto)
Count Basie - The Count Basie Story (ditto)
Duke Ellington - Masterpieces 1926-1949, and also Black, Brown and Beige
Benny Goodman - Live at Carnegie Hall: the Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert
Art Tatum - Piano Grand Master
Charlie Parker - A Studio Chronicle 1940-1948
Miles Davis - Workin, Kind of Blue, Bitches Brew
John Coltrane - Giant Steps
Dave Brubeck - Take Five
Charlie Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
Stan Getz and Astrid Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto
Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz
Cecil Taylor - Unit Structures
