I hope you realize the how many things that encompasses!
A good start would be to get all of these. In addition to all those guys Reks recommended, look for anything by Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, Sonny Rollins, Grant Green, or Rashaan Roland Kirk (who is probably my favorite jazz musician along with Miles). And I think he means the classic quintet, as there is no classic miles quartet that I know of. The second quintet (with shorter, hancock, etc) is also amazing.
This is another decent list, though alot of it is fusion.
