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

alexatpos, I just A'zoned  Ike's Soul Samba CD, wanted vinyl but $94 bucks for that !!

Schubert, few clicks lower, on Amazon, they start from 45 usd, which is still very much money for a lp. That is one reason that I buy cd's, the second is that I just cant find all the  albums that I want on lp. If you care about fidelity, look for older Blue Note editions that are not 'original recordings remastered'. Hope you will like the record, let me know what you think, after you hear it at home.

Roger, will PM you .

Hey, great responses guys.  For those who like 50's and 60's Jazz.  The Duke Pearson "Right Touch" album is a must.  The guys playing on it alone tell you how good it is.  

Combining both jazz and blues in a single list?   I can't do it; thus, here is a list of 7 of each.  While this bears some relation to lists previously posted, in my view, classic blues albums have been conspicuously underrepresented in favor of jazz:

Jazz:

(1) Bill Evans: Waltz for Debby
(2) Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
(3) Dave Brubeck: Take Five
(4) Getz / Gilberto
(5) Buena Vista Social Club
(6) Cannonball Adderley: Something Else
(7) John Coltrane: A Love Supreme

Blues:

(1) Blind Lemon Jefferson: The Complete Recordings
(2) Charley Patton: The Definitive Charley Patton
(3) Muddy Waters: Folk Singer
(4) Buddy Guy: I Was Walking Through the Woods
(5) Son House: Father of the Delta Blues
(6) Elmore James: The Sky is Crying
(7) Leadbelly: King of the 12 String Guitar
