then you're probably listening to the wrong kide of Jazz. I'm sure Shimon and Ron can make a long list of fascinating albums, but let me start:

Contemporary Israeli Jazz - Haifa Septet, especially the track bearing the same name. A worldclass work, both live and in studio. Rabak, they represented Israel in the Montreux Jazz Festival, and have done a very good job.

Cheerful Jazz - Thelonius Monk and his Quartet, part 2

Ecstatic Jazz - John Coltrane, a Love Supreme

Classic Swingy Duets - Ella & Louis

Jazz Musical - Porgy & Bess

Oriental Jazz - Rabih Abou-Khalil, Nafas
(that's the classical piece, he has better ones I'll comment on when I'm back)

Jazz with modern classical music - Keith Jarrett, Paris Concert. It still brings tears to my eyes every now and then.
