Good suggestions so far. I even have Maiden Voyage on cassette from the old days.

Herbie's Empyrean Isles and Tyner's The Real McCoy are excellent also. I think you might like the extended jams ("The Egg" and "Passion Dance," respectively) and some elements of rockin' ostinato playing on those. Both are '60s classics, to be sure. Herbie jacked Miles' band and McCoy absconded with 'Trane's band for their early solo material. This is why Miles' and John's line-ups changed when they did.

But if you're after something a bit earlier, maybe try We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite or Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers' Moanin'.
