Hi i think a couple are missing

Ben Webster Live at the Renaisance

Red Norvo Quintet The foreward look, this was Keith Johnsons first recording

Many more than a couple -- inevitably so, given that Jazz is such a diverse genre with so many excellent practitioners.

BTW, who is Keith Johnson??????

Eric Dolphin - The Illinois Concert

Miles Davis - Pangaea

Chales Mingus - The Great Concert of

Duke Ellington- At Newport 

Thelonious Monk - In Action 

For me, Bill Evans "Waltz for Debby" is my go to live recording.

Running a close second is the Dragon Records recording of Miles Davis Live in Stockholm 1960"

BTW there is a new remastered version of Waltz on Craft, which is supposed to be the definitive version. It will be my third copy, so I am anxious to hear it when it arrives next week.

"Waltz for Debbie" is an old favorite of mine, as well. The Craft release is vinyl? 

Not sure why but I've never developed a taste for Coltrane's playing with Miles. I much prefer the next Miles quintet, either with George Coleman or W. Shorter on sax.  

@cautionbison 

"At the Five Spot" for more live E. Dolphy.
