Some other important releases:
John Cage/David Tudor - Indeterminacy: New Aspect of Form in Instrumental and Electronic Music (probably not your thing but very very important)
Duke Ellington - Anatomy of a Murder
Kimio Eto - Koto Music
Del Close & John Brent - How to Speak Hip
George Russel - New York, N.Y.
And Satan is Real is great.

I'm sure some Miles Davis fans will beg to differ
Like I said before, I just can't get into Coleman. Maybe he's a little too bland to me. I think I can rate my favorite jazz artists, in no particular order, as Coltrane, Mingus, and maybe Blakey and Dolphy. Miles Davis might come in fifth overall thanks to his future efforts.
I might have been harsh on the Louvin Brothers but I couldn't get past the cover. You have to admit, that one's pretty laughable (the cover). I stand by Lemmon's album, though, as being a, um, lemon (don't you like how I make puns?
)
