John Coltrane's Live at Birdland (1963, Impulse! label) album, which I was first exposed to back in the late 1960s or early 1970s (can't remember exactly when)... The live cuts (including sizzling renditions of Afro Blue and The Promise) are so engaging that I can 'picture' them practically note for note. And then there's the quartet's heart-grabbing studio-recorded Alabama, which has to count among the most evocative jazz tunes ever.
I don't listen to this album all that often anymore. But whenever I do yank it out of my collection, it never disappoints.
