Too many to specify: Charlie Parker and Cecil Taylor, though Chasin' The Bird and 2 T's For A Lovely T are good places to look.
Charlie Parker: A Studio Chronicle 1940-1948 is a 5-CD set that has the vast majority of the Bird you'll ever need for a ridiculously low price.
Bird was a fucking genius, a quantum leap beyond what was happening before him. Listen to Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins solos from the 30s -- the greatest sax players of their time -- then listen to Bird.
If you want to make a little mix from [The Dial and Savoy Master Takes] (https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Savoy-Dial-Master-Takes/dp/B002EDQ992/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495353846&sr=8-1&keywords=charlie+parker+dial+and+savoy+masters) (from which you can get mp3s for $1/song), I recommend: Tiny's Tempo, Red Cross, Warmin' Up a Riff, Now's the Time, Koko, Moose the Mooche, Yardbird Suite, Ornithology, Cool Blues, The Hymn, Night in Tunisia, Klaunstance.
There are also some great live recordings with Dizzy Gillespie in 1945: Dizzy Atmosphere, Shaw Nuff, and Groovin' High -- available on [Chasin' the Bird] (https://www.amazon.com/Chasin-Bird-Charlie-Parker/dp/B000BO5LYA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1495355138&sr=8-3&keywords=charlie+parker+chasin%27+the+bird).
