Jeff Beck’s "Live at Ronnie Scott’s" is more on the Fusion end of Jazz with some R&R and R&B thrown in. It’s a fabulous testament to his ability to play guitar, especially with a great band featuring Tal Wilkenfeld on bass and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. The DVD version is fun to watch too.  

Thelonius Monk/John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall

Coltrane at Newport

Any of the Pablo recorded Coltrane European tour recordings, Afro Blue Impressions, mentioned above, is my favorite of those

John McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra’s "Between Nothingness and Eternity"

Eric Dolphy at the Five Spot (Vol.1&2) Volume 1 is my favorite of the two.

The Quintet- "Jazz at Massey Hall" with Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach and Charles Mingus. That’s the definition of a supergroup.

 

 

ChuckT, Benny Goodman’s Carnegie Hall 1938 live album was pretty good too if I recall. Haven’t heard it in years though.

Miles Davis Quintet's Live in Europe 1967 has its' moments too. That one has Wayne Shorter on tenor.
