You're into the region of reasonable prices. Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Lionel Hampton & Count Basie will probably float your boat, but if you're looking for something even further away from your Davises and Coltranes, dig in your charity shops - I've found loads of awesome compilations with titles like 'hot jazz! 1946-52' or 'wartime hit' or, my two personal favourite 'Hits from the forties' and 'homemade jam - British jazz.
Stephane Grappelli (with or without Django Reinhart) may well flick your switches as well.
Edit: I'm assuming you're meaning the tail end of what's now known as 'trad' jazz, before it went hard and cool and free.
