Coltrane's A Love Supreme and Davis's Kind of Blue

I love these two classic "albums". I was hoping someone could give me five or six other, well recorded, must have classic jazz albums (musicians) that I should have in my collection. I am spoiled and would want them to be relatively well recorded.

Given what you already like, I'd recommend:

Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come
Charles Mingus - Three or Four Shades of Blue
Michel LeGrand - LeGrand Jazz

Check out stuff that falls under the category "Hard Bop". I think that will get you where you want to go. (lots of good suggestions in the above, however).

You asked which Mingus,

Well Mingus Mingus Mingus
the Black Saint & Lady Killer are my 2 favorites. Love them above & beyond & sound quality is amazing. I rate all my LPs and few get the Amazing and these did.
