It's pretty hard to single out a single favourite...

There are so many great jazz albums in different eras over the years...

But if we are talking about live albums,"My Funny Valentine" w Miles and the crew is pretty cool...

Recorded in 1963 if I remember correctly...

Some of those young guns went on to be some serious hitters...

No bling,but lots of swing...

I would like to hear Fifty Cent,Jay Z and some of the other modern dicks get together and make a live album with that level of musical intergity

I would add at least
Joe Pass: Virtuoso #3

Most enjoyable for all guitar lovers, and a school book of harmony.

And - most of the great early (and later) jazz lady singers are missing, so far.
Not too many male singers, either.

Great stuff!!

Yeah, although Archie Shepp's Blase and Attica Blues both feature my favourite female and male jazz singers from that period - Jeanne Lee (Blase) - who also sang on some other great albums such as Afternoon of a Georgia Faun by Marion Brown, and Joe Lee Wilson who had such a beautiful musical voice and also sang on Shepp's A Touch of the Blues which is beautiful (esp What would it be without you).

I think the first time I heard her was on her husband's album The 8th of July 1969.

Water Babies, Miles Davis.
A Wayne Shorter-penned album except for the last track.
