Anything you can find by the L.A. Four on Concord is golden. The Concord LPs of the '70s and '80s have stunning clarity and dynamics, and the LA Four was a jazz supergroup composed of Ray Brown, Bud Shank (flute, sax), Laurinda Almeida (classical guitar), and Shelley Manne on drums, later replaced by Jeff Hamilton. I have 3 of their LPs and they're all tremendous, both musically and sonically.
For piano one of my favorites is "Satch and Josh" on Pablo from the mid-'70s. First pairing of Count Basie and Oscar Peterson, which made for an interesting counterpoint of styles while both have an impeccable sense of timing. The band is rounded out with Ray Brown, Freddie Green, and Louie Bellson. In other words, another supergroup.
