Wow, this thread is kind of all over the place! :rotfl:

"Best jazz album ever", I agree, is a little like saying, "Best Rock Band ever".

For me, there's a couple:
The Quintet - Live at Massey Hall
Sonny Side Up - Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt, Dizzy Gillespie
Dahabenzapple - Joe Maneri

"Kind of Blue" always makes me list for "desert island" picks, but it's already been mentioned, so I won't.

You should hear Wes Montgomery do it. The video is on You Tube....Please check it out....It's sooo worth it.

i like the really simple stuff;

there's also an australian quartet i had the joy off seeing at a really underground venue last year; it hosts awesome jazz music. it was the "jack slater quartet". i bought their cd for $20, gave it to a mate and he lost it :/ can't really find anything from them on the net.

John Coltrane - 'Ascent'
Miles Davis - 'All Blues'
Charles Mingus - 'Reincarnation of a Lovebird'

It's difficult to do such a thing as usually I listen to albums all of the way through, but I guess sometimes moments stick out. I guess my favorite album would be Coltrane's 'Sun Ship' or Dolphy's 'Out to Lunch', although 'Bitches Brew' is always a favorite.

These last two especially are hardly "the really simple stuff"

Blue In Green has a very modal melody, and the chord progression is genius. Definitely not "simple". Not to mention that Life in a Glasshouse descends into what some might even describe as free jazz at a point. Again, both complex songs.
