I'm both a power pop fan/musician and a jazz fan/musician.  Personally I
would recommend focusing on 1956 through the mid '70s first.

I'm not aware of a currently active discussion list for classic jazz
listening.  The problem (IMO) is that the classic works are pretty old now.
Listeners go through a process of discovery, but eventually they "know the
catalog" and no longer need to discuss it.  So if it's mainly the
discussion aspect you're after, I can't help (though if you find it, let me
know)...but if you're interested in some essential classic jazz listening
ideas, read on.

Jamey Aebersold is a jazz sax player and educator who has been running jazz
clinics for many years (I've attended 6 times).  His list of "historically
significant jazz recordings" is below.  I've underlined a few that I
personally think are short list essentials for a jazz listener.  His web
site is http://jazzbooks.com.  The list below comes from "Free Jazz -> Jazz
Handbook" on that site.  If you don't have any of them, I would start with
Miles Davis Kind of Blue, and Hank Mobley Soul Station.

Hope this helps somebody discover some great jazz.

John
