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.

Looks like all the old greatest albums of all time are covered.  

How about some newer greatest albums of all time.

Al Jarreau

Bob James

David Sanborn

Gregory Porter

Fourplay

Four80East

Norman Brown

Norah Jones

Sean Jones

any of these artist albums are fantastic.  

Going back to the old stuff. I'm shocked no one said:

Lee Morgan-maybe the greatest trumpet player of all time, and that includes Miles!

Oscar Peterson

Gene Ammons

Oliver Nelson

Blue Mitchell

Carmell Jones

Art Pepper
