I know little or nothing of jazz, so I cannot really comment, but I do have one album I play quite a bit - Ramsey Lewis- Them Changes. I inherited this one and initially did not play it much but these days it gets a fair bit of spin. I also bought an album in Italy whilst on holiday - really progressive jazz - called Specula and Gemini by Roberto De Simone & Bruno Tommaso. Have to be in the right frame of mind to listen to this one. Very complex piece of work. This is like Atom Heart Mother on acid!
