I personally submitted the favorite. And, it is felt that it is similarly indispensable.

Art Blakey and the JM / Ugetsu Brilliant Corners / Thelonious Monk Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy / RTF i.o.u. / Allan Holdsworth |

I have a 3 LP collection that covers much of Fletcher Henderson's career, it really shows the development of early jazz over the years. Oddly enough its called "Study in Frustration", he hated the title and I can see why.
