I second the Chick Corea Trilogy series (both 1 and 2). Also, if you Chicks’s Trilogy, the “Chick Corea Akoustic Band Live” is equally outstanding. 
 

For those that like Miles Davis’ Live-Evil, “The Cellar Door Sessions” 5-CD box set will give you all the shows that Live-Evil was culled from. Might be hard to find now.

I don’t know if anyone responded to your comment “I haven't heard any live Harrell recordings. Have you?”  ….Tom has a “Live At The Village Vanguard” recording which is very good. Also, there is a DVD release of Horace Silver’s band playing somewhere in Europe with a younger Tom on trumpet.

As a sideman, he also worked with Phil Woods and that group released at least one live album: "integrity". 

Seems there are two live "Vanguard" releases as a leader: 2002's "Live at the Village Vanguard" and 2013's "Colors of A Dream: Live at the Village Vanguard".
