Every bit as great as the best known hit albums, there are many high quality compilations of raw and slightly older funk tracks... all displaying such energy and musical diversity it is amazing to listen to.
A few favorites (first links to Amazon, examples on youtube)
Cold Heat, Heavy Rarities 1968-1974 // A track on Youtube
New Orleans Funk // A track on Youtube
Florida Funk 1968-1975 // A track on Youtube
Carolina Funk: First In Funk // A track on Youtube
Texas Funk 1968-1975 // A track on Youtube
Duke Ellington - Money Jungle Trio album with Max Roach and Charles Mingus. The interaction between the three is stunning.
Dizzy Gillespie - Sonny Side Up Sonny Rollins was notorious for half-assing his way as a sideman, so Gillespie called Sonny Stitt for the gig too and had Rollins take the first solo on the rhythm changes Eternal Triangle. Epic tenor battle ensues. By the end they're copping each other's licks while they're trading fours.
Lester Young with the Oscar Peterson Trio No one plays like Prez. I Can't Get Started is a standout.
Ella and Louis Two of jazz's greatest icons making definitive versions of standards. There's so much humor and music throughout these recordings. It's worth noting it's the Oscar Peterson Trio with Buddy Rich backing them up.
...And His Mother Called Him Bill Recorded by Ellington's big band in 1967 for the death of Billy Strayhorn, longtime writer and arranger for the band and Ellington's musical other-half. All star ensemble featuring Johnny Hodges, Paul Gonsalves, Cootie Williams, Clark Terry, and Sam Woodyard, to name only a few.
Louis Armstrong - Complete Hot Fives and Sevens About as close to the beginning as you'll need to know for an introduction. This is a good reference point to have as you explore jazz.
This list is already too big. Make sure you hit some Miles Davis too, as has been suggested. Kind of Blue is the sort of album you could listen to all throughout your life and you'd learn something new from it each time you put it on. Art Blakey had some of the best bands throughout his career, as he was always bringing up the young guys. There's just too much!
Although he was one of the earliest great Jazz soloists to record, pre-dating Louis Armstrong, Bechet's early discography is surprisingly sparse, likely due in part to extensive European touring and an 11 month incarceration circa 1928. From a discography available at The Sidney Bechet Society:
>Bechet did not make as many recordings in total through his life as his undoubted ability suggests. Below is a
count of the studio recordings he made for each year from 1923, excluding alternate takes:
1923 - 28/1924 - 17/1925 - 8/1926-1930 - 0/1931 - 6/1932 - 6/1933 - 0/1934 - 4/1935 - 0/1936- 6/1937- 6...
The number of sessions ramps up from the late '30's onward. A compilation like this one would be good for the early years.

I don't understand why you're limiting this to the 20s. That may be when the genre originated, but it didn't stop on 31 December 1929, and the people who played it later have just as much right to call their music Dixieland as those in the 20s. Branching beyond the 20's you have:
If you really want the 20's though:
And, though I fear it may hurt my point,
>"New Orleans Style" is more accurate, more descriptive, and does not have a racist connotation -- so why cling to this other term?
Really, "New Orleans Style" and "Dixieland" are the same level of descriptive. Neither of them explicitly says anything about the music, and if you'd never heard the term before you'd never be able to gather any useful information from the name. This is true for all genre designations (that I can think of), so "New Orleans Style" isn't preferable because of it's precision. In the end, it doesn't really matter what you call new music, but they style we're talking about has many historic names; you can't really go erasing some because they stir up vague feelings of oppression or white guilt. "Hot Jazz", "Dixieland", "Traditional Jazz", "New Orleans Style"...it's really all the same. Why let a racist ruin the term "Dixieland" from beyond the grave? Almost no one who uses the term "Dixieland" is trying to be offensive, and very few people have racist thoughts when they hear the word, so what's the point in trying to destroy it and vilifying those who use it?
