In Jazz, the life-changers were Charlie Parker Vol II, a cheap compilation that happened to have a pretty great selection; The Shape Of Jazz To Come by Ornette; Selflessness by Coltrane, a posthumous mix that includes the great My Favorite Things from Newport 1963; Miles Davis - Live-Evil; Jackie McLean's Demons Dance; and Sonny Rollins' Our Man In Jazz. Those are the ones that got me going. More recent revelations include Cecil Taylor's 2 T's For A Lovely T, and Music Improvisation Company on ECM.
In the wider scheme of things: Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced; Capt. Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica; Olivier Messiaen - Catalogue D'Oiseaux; Anton Webern - The Complete Music (1957); Richard Wagner - Der Ring Des Nibelungen.
It's not ragtime, it's New Orleans Style. The original jazz was a fusion of ragtime, blues, and parade music.
"Ten Feet Off the Ground" was recorded very late in his life, in 1968 (he died in 1971).
Do you have spotify? I could make you mix real quick.
Check out these songs: Cheek to Cheek (w/ Ella), Willow Weep for Me (w/ Oscar Peterson), Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans (live Chicago 1956), Basin Street Blues (Chicago 1956), Mack the Knife, La Vie En Rose, Cabaret, Hellzapoppin', When the Saints Go Marching In (1966 - my favorite version), Blueberry Hill, What a Wonderful World, St Louis Blues (great version from Louis Armstrong Plays WC Handy), Just a Closer Walk with Thee (with the Dukes of Dixieland).
Great albums from his later years:
If you want to check out his heyday from the 1920s, I recommend The Best of the Hot Fives and Sevens. Or check out these songs: West End Blues, Muggles, Tight Like This, St James Infirmary, Basin Street Blues, St Louis Blues, Black & Blue.
Enjoy! Pops is the greatest!
Joe Pass - Virtuoso.
Return To Forever - Romantic Warrior.

Looks like you're going to the U of Iowa next year. There are some great jazz trombone people in the state - I recommend looking up Dr. Anthony Williams. He's the trombone professor up at UNI and he is a great Classical/Jazz trombone player. More importantly, he's a great teacher. I graduated the year before he started working at UNI, but I've taken a couple lessons with him and found them well worth the money.
In the meantime, transcribe, transcribe, transcribe! The first solo I have all of my students transcribe is Chris Buckholz's Fat Back. It's a medium swing tune in F minor, the solo remains mostly diatonic and it swings its ass off. Chris has a fantastic time feel, especially for a trombone player.
Finally, start digging into jazz theory. Knowing how to read chord symbols is ESSENTIAL. I recommend learning some basic jazz piano skills, as well as composing your own tunes. Improvisation is nothing more than spontaneous composition. Once I started writing tunes, I became much better at recognizing the sounds I was hearing inside my own head.
Good luck! Have fun in Iowa City! It has a great jazz scene, you will not be hurting for things to see or do in that town.
