If you could only own 7 Jazz/blues albums. What would they be?

Marsalis & Clapton ---  Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton Play The Blues  CD/DVD

Les McCann & Eddie Harris  --  Swiss Movement

Howlin Wolf  -- The Chess Box

Various Artists  --  Jazz in a R&B Groove  Vol 1

Mingus -- Oh Yeah

Various Artists  --  The 100 Best Jazz Tunes of The 1950's    Box set

Aretha Franklin  --  Aretha's Blues: The Delta meets Detroit

Not that I know much about jazz ...... and got enough blues of my own.

Stan Kenton- Machito
Horace Silver-Song For My Father
Hank Mobley- Soul Station
Eric Dolphy- Out to Lunch
Sarah Vaughn + Clifford Brown
Brad Mehldau Trio-Art of the Trio
Lee Morgan- The Sidewinder

Schubert

Song For My Father was my last title out before the cut.  It's a great record IMO (better, in a vacuum, than Lost Paramount Tapes), but wasn't quite the stylistic fit for my collection.  Cool choice, tho.

Well, martykl, Rollins -Sax Colossus was my 8th, but I wanted to be honest and Mobley is my man .
And Sarah Vaughn beat out Kurt Elhling-Man In The Air because she is better looking .

Very predictive, my apologies...

Ike Quebec-Soul Samba
Chet Baker-As time goes by
Kenny Burrell-Midnight blue
Miles Davis-Kind of blue
Art Pepper-meets the rythm section
Bill Evans-At the Shelly's Manne hole
Ernest Ranglin-Below the bassline
