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.

Glad you like their work.

Drummer for the trio is Noah Furbringer he has an album, "Moonwalker," which is more of the same but with emphasis on drum-work, 2022.  Insane:

Similar artists came out with a 2021 French Album, "Rouge."  Name of the Trio is Derrierre Les Paupieres:

Ezz-thetic, George Russell. Dolphy plays on tunes you'll remember and whistle the next day . . .

If it’s not on you list yet, I suggest the STEREO LP of "Shelly Manne & His Friends modern jazz performances of song from MY FAIR LADY." Besides Manne this has Andre Previn on piano and LeRoy Vinnegar on bass. Originally recorded in 1956 it was remastered in 2021.
