BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard?

yes, agree, totally relative...the one available now at $79.99 comes to $16 an album...though I paid much less some years ago...for some issues worth it to me, for most not...

Norman Granz' Jazz At The Philharmonic, Hartford 1953.

Historic Concerts - Cecil Taylor & Max Roach
- Live at McMillin Theater at Columbia University, New York City December 15, 1979

Round Trip - Sadao Watanabe with Chick Corea, Miroslav Vitouš and Jack DeJohnette

The Three, Joe Sample, Ray Brown, Shelly Anne. There is a direct to disk on vinyl. 

I'm not sure how many are familiar with the Bobo Stenson Trio but War Orphans is a great place to start.  He has more of a contemplative style and some of the best recording quality I've heard.
