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.

Another Bill Evans LP.  Great performance and great sound.

Bill Evans at the Montreux Jazz Festival

The Japanese label Three Blind Mice has some super performances that were recorded exceptionally well.

Try Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio: "Midnight Sugar" and "Misty"

       Isao Suzuki Trio: "Blow Up" and "Black Orpheus"
