I will continue the interesting excersise of providing a list of great classic records in a particular genre:
Here are the recordings I would recommend to all first time buyers of jazz. All of them are great recordings and they sound fantastic on SACD. In particular the records from Mobile Fidelity and Analouge Production are exceptional soundwise.
Coltrane: A Love Supreme
Miles Davis: Cookin' with the Miles Davis Quintet (analouge production)
Miles Davis: Steamin' with the Miles Davis Quintet (Mobile Fidelity)
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
Miles Davis: In a Silent Way
Sonny Rollins: Saxophone Colossus (analouge production)
Bill Evans Trio: Waltz For Debby (analouge production)
Ella and Louis
Diane Krall: The Look of Love
Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane
Duke Ellington: Blues in Orbit (Mobile Fidelity)
Tania Maria: Come With Me (I have a weakness for samba!)
Chick Corea: Rendezvous in New York (first and foremost exceptional for its sound quality, performance wise it is okay, but perhaps not a classic)
Stan Getz Quartet: Pure Getz

Good list.
I'd definitely add Blue Train. A perfect "Intro to Jazz" album.

I listend to Blue Train again last night and would second this. I would also add "Satch Plays Fats" - Fats Waller was one of our outstanding song writers, and Pops was his best interpreter. No jazz collection is complete without significant representation of Louis Armstrong, and this is a strong effort(The W.C. Handy collection wins more points from the critics, but I prefer this one, by a wide margin). My only wish is that Jack Teagarden had been on trombone instead of Trummy Young - the latter is fine, but overuses dirty tone, and Teagarden was simply wonderful.
