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.

Dave Brubeck, Time Out, and Gone With The Wind Listened enjoyably for decades, I just learned a bit about them just now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Out_(album) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gone_with_the_Wind_(album) Note: The more Jazz you collect, the more Mono LP’s you will come across by artists in their ’rise to fame’ 40’s, 50’s. The recording techniques were already excellent, and a true mono cartridge is a little/lot/whole lot better at producing less noise and more distinction of individual instruments and voices. Hopefully you have a tonearm with a removable headshell that allows you to change to a true Mono cartridge, even better is two tonearms with a mono cartridge ready to go, mix and match during a listening session.
