I'll start off with my favourites:
Bill Evans - Portrait in Jazz
(Superb Autumn Leaves, Someday My Prince Will Come, Peri's Scope)
Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby
(A classic; excellent atmosphere)
Bill Evans - You must believe in Spring
(An even more melodic Bill Evans than Waltz for Debby; mesmerizing beauty)
Oscar Peterson - The Good Life
(Lots of drive and vigor; my favourite Peterson album; Wheatland is an amazing first track)
Keith Jarrett - Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note: The Complete Recordings
(Expensive but well worth it)
Keith Jarrett - Still Live
(The Keith Jarrett Trio live and they caught a really good day)
Keith Jarrett - Standards Trio Vol.1 & 2 (2 CDs)
(Excellent rendition of standards)
Esbjörn Svensson Trio - Somewhere Else Before
(The Swedish piano trio at its best; sort of a best-of for the American market; a good regular album is "Seven Days of Falling")
Edit to add another one:
Thelonoius Monk Plays Duke Ellington
(More elegant than usual but still Monkian)
Bill Evans - Portrait in Jazz
