You all have excellent taste!

Only 5 is a tough call...

Cannonball Adderley - "Somethin' Else"
John Coltrane - "Blue Train"
Art Blakey & Jazz Messengers - "Like Someone In Love"
Hank Mobley - "Soul Station"
Dexter Gordon - "A Swingin' Affair"

... but lately a lot of Sonny Clark, "Cool Struttin'" and "Leapin' And Lopin'"

Picking just five is incredibly difficult:

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - The Big Beat
Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin'
Dexter Gordon - A Swingin' Affair
Hank Mobley - Soul Station
Lee Morgan - The Sidewinder

I just spun Jackie McLean's "One Step Beyond" and it's another really good one that deserves a listen or two.

Now, this is a good question. These 5 are on the top of my stack. Not necessarily the best 5, but the closest to hand:

Andrew Hill - Point of Departure
Don Pullen - New Beginnings
Joe Henderson - Inner Urge
Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch
Tony Williams - Lifetime
