Best Cool Jazz Record

I agree with "Kind of Blue". How about the first Pat Metheny Group album, Pat Metheny Group?

This was groundbreaking jazz that's cool, timeless and terrific.

Giant steps, Coltrane takes my vote.

Giant Steps...here here

Hmm, I've never been clear about the difference between cool and hot jazz, someone help me out? I'm kind of surprised that Giant Steps and Take Five are the same temperature.
