1920's Ellingtone's swingin' or Monk's early experiments knowledge is a fundamental thing if you're interested in classical jazz ;). There's a few 1920-1940 originally recorded albums accessible on torrents ;). Copyrights expired ;>.

ECM recording studio albums are recommended ;).

I like fusion, and lots of other jazz. I even like some smooth jazz every now and then, at mellow, early morning times. Ying Yang (Not sure of all the "categories," though.)

I like a lot of jazz, but my favourite genres from your list:
  • Cool Jazz - Miles Davis, John Coltrane, early Herbie Hancok, Charles Mingus, Dave Brubeck Quartet, Art Farmer etc.
  • Fusion - the usual suspects, plus the dazzling Machine & The Synergetic Nuts from Japan.
  • World Jazz - Anouar Brahem and Dhaffer Yousseff in particular.
  • Free Jazz - oddly (given my taste for avant prog) not my #1 genre, but a lot of it is like hard work for me. John Zorn, Derek Bailey, Ornette Coleman and a few others are worth the effort though.
 
I'm also keen on the Esbjorn Svensson Trio, Arve Henrikssen, The Necks and some of Keith Jarrett.

Oldschool jazz is very nice, but when I listen to jazz, it's fusion or free jazz I listen to. Check out the Belgian band Aka Moon.

I've been on a bit of a free jazz binge lately, (particularly Coltrane), but I also love funk (like Tower of Power), Bebop (Monk's the man!), cool jazz (the DBQ), big band jazz (actually, I play trumpet in my high school big band), and of course, fusion.

I voted for free jazz, but ask me again tommorrow.

Fusion Jazz!
The Mahavishnu Orchestra = My 2nd favorite band ever, and they are the ideal fusion jazz groub. McLaughlin, Hammer, Cobham, etc - all the lineups, even when they re-united in 75' - were astounding. One of the best bands ever.
 
Fusion also gave birth to two of my top 20 favorite records ever, not counting all the Mahavishnu records: "In A Silent Way" by Miles Davis and "Bitches Brew".

  LORDOFLIGHT :Yeah well they like to keep their music minimal, and repetitation is one of the main points of their music !  I've been also looking for similar bands but i have found nothing similar ! they are too original !!

Absolutely Be Bop/Hard Bop. The angular compositions of Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, and Thelonious Monk are directly related to the jerky compositions of groups like Gentle Giant, Frank Zappa, early Genesis, and modern groups like Don Caballero and Behold... The Arctopus. I love that stuff.
