Kadlec,sorry if these have already been mentioned,I have not read all the responses.Some of the best imho are Oscar Peterson such as 'Jazz Soul of Oscar Peterson',West Side Story',Night Train',A Jazz Portrait of Frank Sinatra',and then there is Junior Mance,'Blue Mance',Junior's Blues','Happy Time',and various others.And then there is 'Count Basie and Friends','Basie and Zoot',just to name a few.IMHO some of the most awsome music ever.
