Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album?

Umbrella label - Boss Brass - Rob McConnell - big band jazz D2D - incredible sound

Guitar - Ed Bickert, Emily Remler, Pat Metheny, Grant Green

Piano - Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Sonny Clark

Blues? Gary Moore

Trumpet - Chet Baker, Miles, Harry Edison

One thing I do - you are listening to an album, and maybe you like the piano - check who is playing; Miles was great about picking new players in his bands.

Sax - Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, Paul Desmond

Have Fun!!

Forgot 

Sheffield Labs - great D2D label - Harry James big band, among others

Jazz at the Pawnshop - old album, great music and sound

Gary Moore, fine guitar player with unique style. Very emotional, very open.

For Bill Evans, I like Waltz for Debbie even more than the Village Vanguard album which came from the same series of performances.  Also, his Portrait in Jazz.

I concur otherwise with many of the above suggestions.  But an omission is Herbie Hancock--get a greatest hits anthology or Maiden Voyage and (if you like electric funk-jazz) Chameleon.

Paul Desmond is my favorite alto-sax player.  His albums with guitarist Jim Hall are wonderful, although one of them had some string arrangements I could do without. Easy Living is one of their better albums.

Herbie Hancock - Empyrean Isles
