The first jazz album I fell in love with was one by Alice Coltrane. I don't know the title of it now and I think it was kind of a compilation, if this can be possible. I fell in love with it while listening to it at the library. Another amorous jazz experience in the library dealed with Sun Ra's Cosmic Tones For Mental Therapy, especially the song "Moon Dance". This one is kind of an alltime favorite song of me.
Another favorite jazz album for a few years of mine was Dizzy Gillespie - live at Manteca (or something). Haven't listened to that one a long time. And another Dizzy Gillespie album comes to mind (I think it has something to do with soundtracks)
Charlie Mingus - Blues and Roots
and a few others. But all in all I'm not that much of a jazz aficionado.
