I'll suggest Stanley Turrentine as an artist, and the linked disc as introduction ... also recommend that if you go to Discogs, or Amazon and type in Gerry Mulligan, or any artist / style that you're interested in you'll get several suggestions returned for other works
be well,

Thanks so much for your suggestions. I have ordered the Turpentine CD and also Gerry Mulligan meets Ben Webster.
Webster Meets Mulligan Meets Hodges Meets Getz Meets Giuffre Meets Chet Meets...Verve (which encapsulated Norman Granz' Clef, Norgran and material from Mercury Records labels
while becoming a powerhouse source of new recordings as well) is a great label to pursue for
pre and post bop "straight ahead" jazz combos playing well arranged, tuneful songs and versions
of The Great American Songbook canon.You have the creme de creme of the finest players in jazz, period.
Avoid the 1940's JATP releases for now maybe.
The Jazz Masters series are good intros.
Much of these players "cross over" into the West Coast Jazz of the Pacific Jazz Label too
and that is a label Mulligan recorded much for.Check them out.
For a bit more bounce to the modal, check out the Prestige subsidies Swingville and Moodsville.
There is a whole Galaxy (another record label) of fantastic, satisfying TRUE jazz (check out the Fantasy
label too) that will ring your bell if you dig that Mulligan LP that has NOTHING to do with the sad handle
and pigeonhole of the"smooth Jazz" stamp of slow death.I envy your journey and Discovery (ANOTHER label to check out) into this rich, plentiful world of recordings.

Thanks for this helpful information. At this point I'm reaching saturation point with recommendations but at least I do have a path to follow. Much appreciate your concern.
it IS overwhelming what is available.
It should be an enjoyable journey, so take your time to do so.
The music will be waiting for you when you arrive!
