2. Thelonious Monk - Live at the Jazz workshop
3. Jimmy Smith and Kenny Burrell - Blue Bash!
4. Miles Davis- Kind of Blue (not overhyped. Its a masterpiece)
5. Art Pepper - Intensity
6. Hank Mobley - Soul Station
7. Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson
8. Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby
9. Keith Jarrett - at the Blue Note Vol 1-6
10. Grant Green The Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark
11. John Coltrane Africa Brass Sessions Vol 1 -2
12. Ahmad Jamal - At the Pershing
13. Sun Ra - The Futuristic Sounds of Sun Ra
14. Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington - The Great Summit
15. Duke Ellington - meets Coleman Hawkins
16. Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin'
17. Gerry Mulligan - Night Lights
19. Miles Davis - Bags' Groove (PRLP 7109)
20. Joe Henderson - Lush Life: The Music of Billy Strayhorn
man I could literally go on forever. Jazz is huge. I mostly prefer 50's and early 60's stuff. All the Keith Jarrett Trio stuff as far as more modern recordings go are awesome, contemporary (actively gigging) traditional groups like Bill Charlap Trio are great fun to discover...Brad Meldaugh, Julian Lange etc....have fun
