Prompted by query on another social medium:
John Boston suggests: the John Coltrane Quartet: Crescent...and
Tommy Flanagan (piano); George Mraz (bass): Ballads & Blues...and
Sun Ra Arkestra: Nothing Is...
Ruth Berman cites the early variations:
Ian Nichols suggests:
| Le Quintette Du Hot Club De France GNP Crescendo (GNPD 9053) (Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli and their quintet) no single video up now seems to recapitulate this anthology album, but: Here's a fair sample of the quintet's recordings. James T. Cameron offers: Thelonious Monk: The London Collection; v. 2; v. 3 and Solo Monk (with bonus tracks) Duke Ellington and John Coltrane  Horace Silver Quintet: Song for My Father Charles Mingus: Blues and Roots Gil Evans Orchestra: Out of the Cool Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: Free for All and Mosaic A Jazz Date with Chris Connor Gil Scott-Heron: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised The Modern Jazz Quartet: The Sheriff LP Side 1; Side 2 John Coltrane Quartet: My Favorite Things Michael A. Gonzalez recommends: 1959: The Year That Changed Jazz (free online) Tom Kraemer suggests: Bill Frisell: Good Dog, Happy Man

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong: Ella and Louis
Jerry House plumps for Bix Biederbecke (among others); I've been recommending the documentary The Music Makers of Gennett Records (currently free online at the link) to all those interested in Biederbecke and Louis Armstrong and the other titans of early jazz...and their contemporaries in other music.

Charlie Ricci cites two crossover albums he's liked, and reviewed at Bloggerhythms: Bennett/Brubeck: The White House Sessions: Live 1962, with tracks by the best-remembered version of the Brubeck Quartet, who are joined by a youngish Tony Bennett for a short set of songs, and Deodato's Prelude, a huge hit in 1972, with established fusion stars and older hand Ron Carter working with the Brazilian keyboards player.
My initial suggestions:
George Russell Smalltet with Bill Evans: Jazz Workshop
George Russell Smalltet with Bill Evans: Jazz Workshop
from The Seven Lively Arts (CBS)
MIRIAM MAKEBA et al. Have You Seen DRUM Recently? (the film rather than its soundtrack alone)
1964 Belgian television concert:

Thanks, Charlie--I'll add those.
Chet Baker Sings
Definitely a crossing-over classic, Anon!
Or is this you, Charlie, again?
No,it is not.
Good to know!
The Flanagan-Mraz album is superb. I also love Sea Changes, which was issued in 1966, but is hard to find.
And... the late Jerry Gonzalez's Rumba Para Monk. He always did at least one Monk tune per album, with the Fort Apache Band and the ensembles he worked with after he moved to Spain. (Am a huge fan of Monk, his solo piano recordings in particular.)
* Edit: Sea Changes came out in 1996, not the date I 1st entered.
