Dexter Gordon - GO!

This is without question a desert-island disc for me. Not just one of Dexter's best, but one of the best jazz albums, period. Dexter is a bottomless resevoir of ideas, all seamlessly, brilliantly strung together in that languid, big-sound style of his. He seems so relaxed but this disc swings HARD. Please give recognition to drummer Billy Higgins, whose understated and tasteful style is a big factor in this disc's swing quotient. He always plays the right thing at the right time and scupulously complements the rest of the band. His versatily was amazing too--just think, he also played with Ornette Coleman!
And the ballads, they're lush and poignant. There isn't a soul out there, diehard jazz fan or jazz neophyte, who won't like this disc. It's virtuosic and inviting, sensuous and intelligent, addictive, joyous, and hard-swinging. You can't go wrong with it.

Main Source - Breaking Atoms

2008 reissue of the debut album from Main Source. It is widely thought of as a very influential album and it is notable for the debut of Hip Hop superstar Nas. It is also highly regarded thanks to the virtuoso production of frontman Large Professor, whose heavy, and original, use of sampling influenced Hip Hop producers for a good portion of the '90s. Nas makes his debut appearance on "Live at the Barbeque", which is also played in the background of "Genesis", the intro to his critically acclaimed album, Illmatic. Breaking Atoms is one of the most important records in the History of Hip Hop and also hard-to-find; it has been out of print in the United States since the demise of Wild Pitch Records in 1997.
