Great list of live jazz recordings. There are quite a few on the list I need to check out. Here are several I really like:

Keith Jarrett: The Köln Concert (Live at the Opera, Köln, 1975), (ECM)

Bill Charlap Trio: Live at the Village Vanguard, (Blue Note)

Dave Brubeck Quartet: The Dave Brubeck Quartet at Carnegie Hall. (Columbia)

+1 for Joe Henderson State of The Tenor.  One more favorite is Chick Corea Trio "Trilogy"  3 CD set of Corea, Christian McBride and Brian Blades.  The sound quality of this collection puts most studio recording to shame.  

Steve Turre... Because he is underscored as trombonist master ..

Why writing Keith Jarrett... everybody know him...😊 I had one hundred albums of him...

Junko Onishi who know her ? Original unique pianist...

I will not say Miles Davis or Chet Baker... everybody know them..

Tom Harrell is interesting and way less known..or Avishai Cohen at the trumpet

etc...Or Larry Goldings with Peter bernstein...

Walt Dickerson is a musical magician who know him  ? Buy the two albums he make with Sun Ra and call that a great day in jazz...

Pat Bianchi with another master Pat Martino...one of my favorite albums of Jazz..."Formidable" at the same level than "kind of blue!"...

Buy the album of Ed Cherry at the guitar : "It s all good"... A perfect musical cake...

Etc

My list will be way too long...😊

I'm familiar with the Jarrett but will check out the other two you've mentioned. 

@bigtwin 

They also did a second, 2 CD release: "Trilogy 2".

Well, OK but given just how many live recordings Jarrett has released, odds are no-one has heard them all. ;o)

There aren't as many live Miles releases (definitely not hundreds)  but the "Bootleg Series" has certainly increased their number.

I don't know why Harrell isn't better known. Or Charles Tolliver, for that matter. I haven't heard any live Harrell recordings. Have you? We're focusing on live releases, here. Accordingly, can you suggest a live Steve Turre recording you like?
