My number one (Buddy Holly) is gone, so...
June Christy - June's Got Rhythm
A great singer, and one of her best albums.

WHAT A YEAR!
Great albums galore.
A close second is "Somethin' Else", followed by "Soultrane", "Sonny's Crib", "Milestones", "Relaxin'", "City Lights", etc.
But...my number one pick was the first true jazz record I heard/purchased (only 19 years ago...while a junior in high school):

Maybe a brother named Lou?

There were several albums I considered, but two stood above. I was worried coming down the stretch, but Marko saved me from a troubling decision. Thanks!

Given my current avatar, there probably was not much suspense in the community about my pick.

Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley
This album collected Diddley's early hit singles, and you'll find in them the building blocks for the great waves of rock 'n roll—and even hip hop & rap— to come. This is a fantastic album in its own right, but these songs were infinitely influential on a wide range of artists. Only seconds into the first track, and you've stumbled across Bo Diddley's signature beat, which artists like The Strangeloves, U2, and George Michael would tap as the foundation for some of their own hits. Never mind the chord changes, here's the rhythm.
