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.

Let's not forget The Dave Pell Octet !  I know that the sound of an octet might not be everyone's "Cup O' Tea" but Dave had a handle on a totally unique sound.  My absolute favorite of his was his arrangement of "Mountain Greenery".  Check it out ----- you won't regret it !     [We ALL say that !]
