by itself,IMHO. Jess Stacy and Gene Krupa’s playing in Sing,Sing, Sing was over the top.

I've always liked Oscar Peterson's Piano jazz. Here's his 'C Jam Blues' remastered.

West Side Story is definitely a classic jazz album.

Horace Silver: Song for my Father
Ike Quebec: Soul Samba
Brubeck: Take Five
Bill Evans: Interplay or Portrait in Jazz
Branford Marsalis: Trio Jeepy
Minugs: Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
Mingus: Blues and Roots
Gerry Mulligan: Night Lights
Joe Henderson: Live at the Village Vanguard

Jobim…Wave

Cannonball Adderley…Somethin’ Else

Mingus…Let My Children Hear Music

Charlie Haden Quartet West…Now Is the Hour

Fitz Gore & The Talismen…Soundnitia

Grover Washington Jr…Jazz Moods:Cool

Herbie Hancock…Fat Albert Rotunda

Hugh Masekela…Home is Where the Music Is
The Lasting Impressions of Ooga Booga

John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman…that’s the title as well

Mose Allison…Local Color

Pharoah Sanders…Pharoah

Tenorio Jr…Embalo ( Top 10 album for me without question)

Wes Montgomery…Full House

…many excellent choices here. How about:

Monk/Brilliant Corners & Monk’s Music

Forest Flower/Charles Lloyd

Concert By the Sea/Errol Garner

Keith Jarrett/Bremen Lausanne & Koln Concert

McCoy Tyner/Enlightenment

And yes, it’s commercial, but Swiss Movement/Les McCann & Eddie Harris is a blast

…that has blown my mind of late. It’s Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker’s recordings from 1954-1959. It’s a multi-disc set that is just incredible. Please check it out.

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, v1,2 or 3, your choice. The archetype of hard bop.

Lee Morgan - Sidewinder

Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage

A lot of my favorites have been mentioned...

Bonus:

George Adams/Don Pullen Quartet - Earth Beams

That's the Messengers Live at the Cafe Bohemia....
