I agree w/ the suggestion of "the History of Jazz" by Joe Gioia. I'm in the midst of reading it. I'm into the part of the stride piano of the 20-s-30's and Art Tatum et-al. A very interesting read.Also check out "the Jazz Book, from Ragtime to Fusion and Beyond" by Joachime Berendt. Haven't read it yet, got it for my birthday and it appears to go into some of the techniquies and instruments used in Jazz. It will give you an understanding of the different styles and why they are what they are. Should be very interesting.
also, get "Jazz on Record-a History" by Brian Priestley. It talks about recorded jazz and it's history. A good read as well.
I agree, w/ the suggestion of to start out with. Dave Brubeck Quartet is another suggestion to start out with. While he does experiment w/ extreme time signatures in his album "Time Out", however, it's a fairly easy listen.
Hope this helps.
