Top 10 Jazz recordings ever

In regard to the Horace Silver video, you just proved your inability to appreciate something special and Oscar Pettiford is still the "best bassist ever" as far as I am concerned.

I'm late to the game but I didn't notice any mention of:
Gerry Mulligan
Chet Baker
Monk
I did see a vote for Oscar Peterson
Bill Evans
I could go on and on but I think the OP asked for 5

I did not see any mentions of Ornette Coleman, Joe Henderson, Paul Motian, Anita O'Day, Benny Goodman, Charlie Haden - no one likes them here ?

JAnyway for those who want to listen, there are a few recommendations:

JOE HENDERSON : STATE OF THE TENOR LIVE IN THE VILLAGE VANGUARD VOL 1&2 (ridiculously indescribable work)

COUNT BASIE ON PABLO RECORDS produced by Norman Granz, especially BASIE JAM, BASIE JAM #2, 88 BASIE STREET, KANSAS CITY 7, all SATCH AND JOSH piano duets with Oscar Peterson (this is not controversial - do not miss this)
Anyway, for thosen who want to listen
JAN GARBAREK w/TERJE RYPDAHL : ESOTERIC CIRCLE (1969, before George Russell lost Jan to NewAge conflict-free "musical" mystics).

JOHN McLAUGHLIN : EXTRAPOLATION (this was mentioned just once in the 12 years, amazingly, the amazing symbiosis of John Mc.. and John Surman makes it a sleeper of the century).

The big 3;

Kind of Blue.
Time Out.
Ah Um.
