God I wish I had time for a more thorough answer right now, but I will say this: start with something safe like Coltrane or Miles Davis, then read the liner notes to see what other musicians play on that CD, then when you see those guy's names on the liner notes of another CD, you use that as a reference. In this way, you can diversify your collection by branching out from the players who did sessions together.
