Default What jazz music are you listening to?

Like with the new blues thread, I'd like to learn from you guys about some good jazz albums.
I've been a jazz fan since more than 30 years, and still find it one of the finest arts.
To be witness of the process of creation of the art in the moment itself is a privilege, so going to concerts is a must for jazz lovers.
Good recordings come second, and I'll start with a classic album:



Horace Silver plays really funky (my 12-year old daughter starts dancing spontaneously here ).
Art Blakey gets a lot of room for solos, and he does them with his usual fire.
The bass players are Gene Ramey, Curly Russell and Percy Heath.
Recording quality is reasonable (recorded '52-'53).
