I really haven't heard enough to make a list but I'm sure I'd have Ornette Coleman's "science fiction", Eric Dolphy's "Out to Lunch", and Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew".

The first two are kind of obvious:
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue John Coltrane - A Love Supreme Thelonious Monk - Monk's Dream Thelonious Monk - Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane Dexter Gordon - Ballads Dave Brubeck - Time Out Cecil Taylor - Unit Structures Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Collosus Billie Holiday - Some hits compilation or something. And last but not least: Miles Davis - Milestones It has some of the best Coltrane solos ever. Sid's Ahead? Holy fuck. I don't know if it's a cover of something, but the riff at 6:16 is gold. |

The closest I have to jazz is the Laughing Clowns, who were a jazz influenced post-punk band.

I haven't heard enough but here's what I remember liking the most :
Roland Kirk : Rip, Rig & Panic Miles Davis : Kind of Blue John Coltrane : Giant Steps Pharoah Sanders : Jewels of Thought Ornette Coleman & Prime Time : Tone Dialing Albert Ayler : can't remember the title but it was good good good Lee Morgan : The Sidewinder And probably something by EST (whose leader passed away a couple weeks ago) and Chet Baker. Never heard an entire album by those, only bits on the radio, enough to grab my attention. |

I liked SKETCHES OF SPAIN quite a bit... I've never heard that MONK ALONE, but just the title makes me think it's excellent!
