Good album! Burton and Corea is always killer, add to that Metheny and Haynes, and you got a stellar line-up.

I forgot to mention, Don Ellis also has a good chance of making it to my top 10. His stuff is pretty awesome.

I'll have to make three or four lists, cos I don't want to compare pears and oranges
One for standard (pre-68) jazz
another for JR/F
another jazz-ralted (brass rock and these funky things)
and maybe one for more exterimental or free-jazz

Trying to pick just 10 is always pointless, but it's a fun game so I'll try:
(not necessarily in any order) - In a Silent Way - Miles Davis - One of the classic Bird/Dizzy things (can't think of the title - the one with Koko) - Cumbia and Jazz Fusion - Mingus - Mysterious Traveller - Weather Report - Deer Wan - Kenny Wheeler - Live in Dortmund (1976) - Anthony Braxton - Light as a Feather - Chick Corea and Return to Forever - Live at Jimmy's - Maynard Ferguson - John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman - Change of the Century - Ornette Coleman bigtiny |

Herbie Hancock "Sextant" Sun Ra "Strange Celestial Road" The Art Ensemble of Chicago "Les Stances à Sophie" Archie Shepp "Blasé" Wayne Shorter "Speak No Evil" Terje Rypdal "Descendre" John Coltrane "Olé" Henry Threadgill "Carry The Day" Keith Tippett's Ark "Frames" James Blood Ulmer "Black Rock" |

1) Smokin' At The Half Note - Wes Montgomery
2) Kind of Blue - Miles Davis 3) A Love Supreme - John Coltrane 4) Incredible Jazz Guitar - Wes Montgomery 5) Full House - Wes Montgomery 6) Live! - Jim Hall 7) Giant Steps - John Coltrane 8) Milestones - Miles Davis 9) Bitches' Brew - Miles Davis 10) Birds of Fire - Mahavishnu Orchestra (Had a tough time deciding this last one but I figured my namesake should appear on this list somewhere) A lot of repetition on there, but Wes Montgomery is required daily listening if you're a guitarist, and Miles is a genius.
