QFT!
The one I'm listening to right now.
I also have a fantastic copy (deluxe SACD boxed set) of Jazz At The Pawnshop. I agree that it is indeed a very fine recording, however it's a fine recording of a rather uninspired musical performance. I was initially enthralled with the "magic" of the recording, the sweet notes from the vibes hang in a palpable space like none I had experienced before. The recording is very good at "putting the listener inside the venue" for sure, I was initially impressed by the very real tinkling of the glassware and sounds of the kitchen going on etc but the music itself left me wishing that the drinks were real and the feeling that I'd be okay stepping outside for a few minutes for a cigarette and I'm not a smoker. My feeling is that no matter how "quality" the recording is, it's not worth a damn if you wouldn't care to listen to it over and over again.
Well said and I am totally the same it has caught my interest in JazzKind of Blue is a bona fide classic recording. That being said there is no definitive answer because opinion varies by individual taste. Kind of Blue is in my jazz top five,for me it was a gate way recording making me explore the genre in depth.
And then get locked.There is no answer to this question so, in true AK fashion, this thread will easily hit 100 posts.

There is no single "best" jazz album, it's a ridiculous idea.
