Can I get some good recommendations for Rockabilly in the vein of Stray Cats, Eddie Cochran, and Scotty Moore?

[KingProgdor]

How 'bout some recs for Don Ellis' work?

I already have How Time Passes and I thought it was quite good, but I'd like some more.

Also, give me some Jazz that has a good crossover factor for fans of Prog Rock.

Stratus - Billy Cobham

Try this song off that album: http://www.zeec.de/video/99588/3915/...m-billy-cobham

Yes, I am uploading songs to an obscure German site to avoid copyright claims...

Oh yeah, diggin' this drumwork.

Any albums in particular from this fellow I should track down?

Electric Bath is one of my favorites from Don Ellis. Also, if you're trying to get into jazz, you might want to look into Miles Davis' late 60s to early 70s work, particularly In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew. The Mahavishnu Orchestra are another good group if you aren't already familiar with them, check out Birds of Fire and Inner Mounting Flame. Just about any jazz fusion is a good gateway into jazz from a prog standpoint, however.

I suppose it'd be good for me to mention what I already have!

Billy Cobham ranks amongst my 5 favorite drummers of all time (along with Buddy Rich, Max Roach, Carl Palmer, and Elvin Jones). He is no doubt objectively one of the 10 best.
