I'd probably say Monk's Dream, but I do also like Love Supreme a lot.
I have lots of vinyl, but I prefer digital only for the convenience.
Ditto. I inherited about 10K albums from my father but have given them all to my little sister. She and her husband have purchased the equipment needed to transfer all the vinyl, but this has to be done in real time, so I doubt either one of them will ever have time to ever finish this project.
Meanwhile, I love this Herbie Hancock composition:
I don't know what software they are using but it is time consuming. What I use records the album and then allows for some light editing. Since it records a FLAC file you then need to compress it to an MP3 (unless you want every album to take up a couple of gigabytes). It will usually take me an hour to copy, fix and save a standard LP. If they've only got 10,000 albums to go through it shouldn't take them more than a year and a half to get that all done providing that they forgo sleep, eating, work, etc.
If I can only pick one, and only one, it would be Real Thing by Taj Mahal. Admittedly there are a few blues cuts on the album. However, with a huge brass section, excellent horn riffs and Taj Mahal singing scat on a number of songs, jazz dominates the album. Here's an excellent example:

Some of my favorite jazz artists had a heavy blues influence, such as Grant Green and Kenny Burrell. I could do a separate thread just about jazz guitarists, since that's the instrument I play, I'm partial to guitar players.
Wes Montgomery and Earl Klugh are two of my favorites.

I love these threads. I learn so much!
Now why isn't anybody interested in baroque?
I only owned one mp3 player, and the sound just drove me nuts, it wasn't an iPod, which do give much better sound. My most modern media is CDs at this point.
I actually had a rare Kenwood walkman (bought it in St. Maarten) that had some of the best sound I've ever heard. Of course, the right headphones make all the difference. Someone should start a thread on favorite equipment to LISTEN to music, too. That would be interesting.
Miles; Sketches of Spain. I read long ago that this is one that he played for himself a lot, like all day long at some points, so I know he liked it too.
