Which jazz records in your collection are most sentimental to you and why?

Which jazz records in your collection are most sentimental to you and why?

An old friend alerted me to a Reddit discussion entitled "Which records in your collection are most sentimental to you and why?" and I thought we should repurpose (ok, steal) it for our community but add "jazz" as a qualifier. Sentimental being key, for me it's the The Chuck Mangione Quartet (Mercury, 1972)—a live set with inspired arrangements and soloing by Gerry Niewood and Chuck, with congas and an electric piano heard throughout. Only five tunes, three of which are "Land of Make Believe" and covers of Freddie Hubbard's "Little Sunflower" and Luiz Bonfa's "Manhá De Carnival." It received countless spins back in the day and I find myself returning to it on occasion in memory of my father who was a Chuck fan... all the way up to Children of Sanchez. :-)

Please post your sentimental favorite(s) in the comments section below.
