This is up there for me for best album. Either this or the Black Saint and the Sinner Lady.

Some of my favorite recordings are Dr. Michael White's New Years at the Village Vanguard, Benny Goodman live at Carnegie Hall, and Jazz at the Pawnshop.

Coltrane's "Giant Steps." "Chasin' the Train" is my favorite jazz song; it's the music of pure zen; God using Coltrane to communicate a timeless message that no words could convey. Total religious experience for me.

I feel the same way about Coltrane's "In a Sentimental Mood". Jazz music does not get any better than this.

I assume the OP means original albums & not compilations /box sets(which I tend to collect more heavily )

Unfortunately Jazz was already dying when the 'album' appeared.



Sun Ra- Jazz in Silhouette

Horace Silver- Jody Grind (love the Trumpet work by Woody Shaw)

Minus Ah Um- already mentioned.

Ellington -Far East Suite or Afro Eurasian Eclipse


Thelonius Monk with Art Blakey Jazz Messengers.

W.'Marsalis . Black Codes

Rashaan Roland Kirk-. Rip Pig Panic

Larry Young- Unity

Woody Shaw -Stepping Stones

Mal Waldron- Seagulls of Kristiansund

Clifford Brown & Max Roach


Most any Monk /Mingus albums.
