I'm a real novice when it comes to jazz. I have Kind of Blue and Bitches Brew by Miles Davis and love them, and I love jazzy/funky rock fusion.
Any recommendations? I've heard Weather Report is a good band for that style.

This will be one of the most amazing releases for this year, imho.
Mosaic Records Presents: ‘The Complete Louis Armstrong Columbia & RCA Victor Studio Sessions 1946 – 66’ out April 10, 2021
These recorded works featuring celebrated historic releases such as Louis Armstrong Plays W.C Handy, Satch Plays Fats and The Real Ambassadors all come from the artist’s latter years recording on both Columbia and RCA Victor.

The other ones to think about is Herbie Hancock: head hunters. Or ornett coleman: dancing in your head.

Regarding Louis Armstrong, here's a few well worth listening to. I'm listing them by artist involved. If they've already been noted here I don't know.
Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis (all albums)
Duke Ellington and Louis
Regarding other jazz, check out some of the following artists:
Cannonball Adderly
Wes Montgomery
Grant Green
Gene Ammons
Ben Webster
Shirley Horn
Karrin Allyson (Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane and In Blue are very good albums)
Carmen McRae (superb vocalist)
Charles Mingus
Ramsey Lewis Trio (my entry to jazz)
Nat King Cole (he started as a jazz performer)
There's so many more to be discovered and explored. Happy hunting.
