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.

I think my favorite jazz album has got to be Michael Garson's "Serendipity". It's Reference Recording RR-20. A really nice accoustic jazz album, with

high quality performances, and above average audio quality for the time it was produced. 

Second choice would be Dave Gruisin's "Discovered Again.

Sheffield Treasury ST500. Great performances, and very nice recording by Sheffield Labs, too.

Hope these are still available! Hope this helps, and best of luck to you

in building out your jazz collection.
