Jazz Album Time Capsule

Ten albums to be put into a pod that will be sent out into space in the hope of making contact with jazzbos in other galaxies.

While we may want to have one or two nods to jazz history and recognized masterpieces, if necessary, let's make our lists of CDs subjective while at the same time making some effort to represent the breadth of jazz, making for a balanced capsule.

something from Coltrane surely...

Well, I don't know.

Miles Davis - A Tribute to Jack Johnson
Weather Report - Heavy Weather
John Zorn - Naked City (jazz? not really. oh well)
Sun Ra - Space is the Place
Medeski, Martin and Wood - Uninvisible
The Lounge Lizards - The Lounge Lizards

And some others...

I decided to compile a list of "live" albums:

Shelly Manne "And His Men at the Blackhawk"

Sonny Rollins "A Night at the Village Vanguard"

John Coltrane "The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings"

Miles Davis "The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel"

Ornette Coleman "At the Golden Circle"

Betty Carter "The Audience With..."

Gerry Hemingway "Waltzes, Two-Steps and Other Matters of the Heart"

Cecil Taylor "One Too Many Salty Swift and Not Goodbye"

Ganelin Trio "Ancora Da Capo"

Evan Parker "50th Birthday Concert"

I'll make a list but how to include Charlie Parker of Lady Day. Most of their albums are collections.
