His radio show, Tuesday 7-8, Radio 2 is excellent. Runs the gamut of jazz from the classics, to jazzy dubstep.
For many reasons, one of the few people I hold up as a hero, is John Coltrane. My son's middle name is Coltrane! Wish I could work out how to post video, there's tons of stuff I'd like to contribute. Will be working my way through the thread soon enough.

oh yes....him and Jimmy McGriff on the keys - sublime

The power of Art Blakey on Free for All is among my favourite 10 minutes of jazz. The drum solo where you can hear him moanin' and cooking is epic.
ART BLAKEY & THE JAZZ MESSENGERS, Free For All (Shorter) - YouTube

If you like B3 - Groove Holmes, Jack McDuff and the legendary Jimmy Smith should work.
Lester Young and Ben Webster on tenor, just to contrast two very different but both awesome styles, see also Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Parker on Alto. Of course Coltrane and Sonny Rollins for later stuff. (like the Pharoah too)
On keys, Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum to see just how far, how fast out of key you can go....early and a real kingpin Jelly Roll Morton.
Wes Montgomery on Guitar (already mentioned), Tal Farlow too - unbelievable player.

the bad plus, E.S.T, manu katche and polar bear are some of my favourite jazz bands. Bit more modern tho, but as you like acoustic ladyland, i reckon you'd dig polar bear.
and also check out this dude, if you like bass, esp uprights like me, nom nom

metheny's stuff manages to be complex and utterly bland at the same time. his lame fx choices don't help. all technique no taste as far as I'm concerned. fusion is a dangerous place..
Saw Charles Lloyd at the Barbican last autumn and it was probably the most awesome concert I was at last year. Deeep. This is him in about 68 I think. Dig the muppet-like cartoon hippyness. A young, already hopelessly affected Keith Jarrett absolutely kills it about two and a half minutes in. Awe-inspiring performance.
