Start here... I can recommend more. There are so many albums and artists to go through really. Coltrane, Miles, Thelonious Monk, Cliff Jordan, Lee Morgan, Paul Chambers, Lou Donaldson, Jackie Mclean, Stan Getz, Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, Bill Evans, Chet Baker, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Dizzy Reece.... and I'm only getting started
Find what you like and then traverse through the sideman in that album. Blue Note, Impulse, Atlantic, Prestige, Riverside, Contemporary labels will become your friends really quickly.
It also starts to get expensive VERY quickly, especially if you get hooked on to 45rpm analog remasters being put out by the likes of ORG, Analogue Productions and Music Matters.
