I probably have around 450 'jazz' albums depending on how you classify 'jazz'. That's about 20% of my collection.

I have a lot of jazz records mainly BlueNote, probably 95% of it is in the late 50's to mid 60's, so that classic hard bop era. Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers is my all time fav group, I also enjoy the early Herbie Hancock stuff. My biggest surprise was Katanga by Curtis Amy and Dupree Bolton....brilliant!!

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers would be a nice addition to my mainstream Jazz section if I could find a highrated album with
a cool cover I could like. Big smile

       The absolutely earliest album in this part of my music collection is Jukka Tolonen's  A Passenger to Paramaribo  which I bought 
in 1978 when I for a year was studing psychology and living in the city of Ĺrhus in Northern Jutland. It was a quite special year 
which I remember well, and this record is quite a lot for me a part of that time.

I've added one more record to my mainstream Jazz section, a record I before had decided to sell, so it was on my sell list 
for some years. Now I changed my mind and put it back in my collection, not least due to its special recording and very good 
sound quality, plus the fact that it's other kind of Jazz (Dixieland) than all my other Jazz records.

It is   Climax Jazz Band  (CAN)  -  direct to disk  (1977)

Jazz-Rock as a whole is definitely my favourite in this part of my collection, and I became very fond of a number of albums 
in this style already in mid-'70s, in my late teenage years. 
Some of them I love to this day, and they're among my most fave regardless genre:

    Mahavishnu Orchestra  (USA)  -  Birds of Fire  (1973)
    Osibisa  (Ghana)  -  Osibisa   (1971)

    Jean-Luc Ponty  (F)  -  Upon the Wings of Music  (1975)

    Return to Forever  (USA)  -  Where Have I Known You  Before (1974) 

    Secret Oyster  (DK)  -  Sea Sun   (1974)

    Stomu Yamashta  (J)  -  Raindog   (1975)

Duke Ellington- Everything from 1957-1962
Dizzy Gillespie- seven albums 
Django Reinhardt- four albums
Charlie Parker - 46 album set release by Charlie Parker's wife around 1962 (To combat bootlegs).  Half performances are by other Jazz greats performing Parker's material...the Rest is Parker himself.

That's the core of my Jazz collection.  This thread inspired moi to designate two months per year...I'll only listen to Jazz.

I have too many jazz albums. And my wife looking over my should just reminded me I have even more blues albums (which I don't think is necessarily complimentary).

Anyway, my 20 favorites in no particular order:

Charles Mingus - Ah Um
Dave Brubeck - Time Out
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame
Di Meola, de Lucia, McLaughlin - Friday Night in San Francisco
Oscar Peterson - Night Train
Duke Ellington - Ellington at Newport
Keith Jarret - The Köln Concert
Weather Report - Heavy Weather
Wes Montgomery - The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery 
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Billie Holiday - At Jazz at the Philharmonic
Thelonious Monk - The Genius of Modern Music, Vol. 1
Django Reinhardt - Djangology
John Zorn - Naked City
Louis Armstrong - Plays W.C. Handy
Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington - The Great Summit
Jaco Pastorius - S/T Debut

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
