Duke Ellington - Blues in Orbit
Great bluesy big band album. Every track on this album is great.

Lee Morgan - Tom Cat
A very hard, driving hard-bop album. Every musician on this album plays his ass off.

Frank Sinatra/Count basie - Sinatra at the Sands
A great album from the greatest singer of all time with one of the greatest big bands of all time.

Oscar Peterson - Tristeza on Piano
Oscar Peterson's playing on this album is some of the greatest piano playing you will ever hear. A great album from front to back.

Maynard Ferguson - Brass Attitude
A great album from a great trumpet player. I love the hard driving jazz on this album. Very creative arrangements.
