Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album?

Just got back into analog after not having a turntable for 38 years. That was a Thorens TD 320. Now I have a VPI. Building a jazz album collection now since jazz seems to be what I enjoy now. I have barely 12 albums from Miles Davis, Art Blakey, King Curtis, Ray Charles, John Coltrane, Ike Quebec and Illinios Jacquet. Can you suggest a must have album? I generally like great sax, and percussion and sometimes a good vocalist, but I am open to anything that sounds GREAT. Also, if there is a particular label, issue or type of album. Thanks in advance.

Umbrella label - Boss Brass - Rob McConnell - big band jazz D2D - incredible sound

Guitar - Ed Bickert, Emily Remler, Pat Metheny, Grant Green

Piano - Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Sonny Clark

Blues? Gary Moore

Trumpet - Chet Baker, Miles, Harry Edison

One thing I do - you are listening to an album, and maybe you like the piano - check who is playing; Miles was great about picking new players in his bands.

Sax - Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, Paul Desmond

 

Have Fun!!
