I've got a bit of money to spend on a CD order I'm making right now.
I want some jumping melodic jazz!
Nothing pre-1965 preferably, but nothing that sounds like it was recorded in Ancient Rome either!
Count Basie's pretty good! Anything else like that, the sort that makes people jive!
Thanks!

Oscar Peterson might fit the bill. I would recommend Eric Dolphy live at the 5 spot but it's entirely not what you asked for :p
Giant Steps
innit, unless you have it already. Which you should.
.
Quite a step from Count Basie, huh?
I FUCKING LOVE JAZZ
get some Charles Mingus up you!
Jazz freaks me out...
...in a good way tho, not in a mighty boosh way, thats a bad way....
Yep
The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is awesome
nothing pre-1965
makes this pretty tough i think. some of the best (imo) stuff was recorded pre-1965. i'm sure you know this but from 1965-70's jazz went through the big free/fusion period and there's a lot of stuff that doesn't "make people jive".
stick with basie if that's what you like. if you can get away with something pre-65 try ellington's newport '58
art blakey - moanin'
wynton kelly trio w/ wes montgomery - smokin at the half note
anything with cannonball adderly (live in san francisco is a good one) so is somethin' else
what instruments do you like?
im a fan of brother jack mcduff and jimmy smith and that kinda stuff....does georgie fame count as jazz?
