Jazz must have pressings???

I can't say that I'm jazz-oriented as that genre makes up a very small percentage of my collection. I do like big band type stuff from Stan Kenton, Bill Holman, and Billy May, along with some popular artists like Vince Guaraldi and Bola Sete. Getting away from piano and guitar, I think my one "must have" would be the Don Rader (flugelhorn) album "Anemone," recorded live at the Great American Music Hall--beautiful music and musicians that seem to be listening to and interracting with each other.

Here are a few that I really enjoy. Not in any particular order they are:
1. Count Basie - 88 Basie Street. The original on Pablo is wonderful.
2. Bill Berry - For Duke - direct to disc on the Jeton label.
3. Ray Brown and Monty Alexander - Summerwind - direct to disc on the Jeton label.
4. Freddie Hubbard - The Artistry of Freddie Hubbard - reissued 45 rpm (original on Impulse)
5. Dexter Gordon - Doin' Allright - Blue Note - the 45 RPM re issue.

There are many more that are just as wonderful.
