Sorry that I put down more than ten.  I'm more heavily into vocal/
choral jazz, but I also like the old stuff.

Don't mean to advertise here, but I've found that some of the best
of the jazz out of the fifties (both east coast and west coast variations)
can be found in the Original Jazz Classics series, from Fantasy records.
Fantasy and its subsidiaries (Milestone, Riverside, Galaxy, and Stax)
must have one of the largest jazz archives around.  The OJC series
consists of re-released albums originally released in the late '40s/
1950s, and are very affordable ($5.98 list, about $4.50 in the Berkeley
record stores).
