Default Cool Jazz and Soul Jazz Classics

I was in a jazzy mood when I got home from work so I compiled data from RYM's genre charts and put together two collections - one of cool jazz classic LPs and the other of soul jazz staples.

I'm about an hour into it and here's how the playlists stand:

THE COOL JAZZ SET

[1958] Miles Davis - Ascenseur pour l'échafaud
[1957] Miles Davis - 'Round About Midnight
[1958] Miles Davis - Milestones
[1959] Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
[1958] Bill Evans - Everybody Digs Bill Evans
[1960] Bill Evans - Portrait in Jazz
[1961] Bill Evans - Explorations
[1963] Bill Evans - Undercurrent (w Jim Hall)
[1977] Bill Evans - You Must Believe in Spring
[1961] Gil Evans Orchestra - Out Of The Cool
[1975] Jim Hall - Concierto
[1962] John Coltrane - Ballads
[1956] Art Tatum meets Ben Webster
[1963] Oscar Peterson Trio - Night Train
[1955] Dave Brubeck - Jazz Red Hot & Cool
[1959] Dave Brubeck - Time Out
[1961] Stan Getz - Focus
[1976] Bernard Herrmann - Taxi Driver OST

THE SOUL JAZZ SET

[1958] Jimmy Smith - The Sermon
[1960] Jimmy Smith - Back at the Chicken Shack
[1963] Jimmy Smith - Prayer Meetin'
[1964] Jimmy Smith - The Cat
[1965] Jimmy Smith - Organ Grinder Swing
[1966] Jimmy Smith - Jimmy & Wes The Dynamic Duo
[1973] Clifford Jordon - Glass Bead Games
[1974] Gil Scott Heron - Winter in America
[1967] Pat Martino - El Hombre
[1963] Donald Byrd - A New Perspective
[1972] Archie Shepp - Attica Blues
[1960] Bobby Timmons - This Here is Bobby Timmons
[1965] Big John Patton - Let 'em Roll
[1961] Ray Charles - Genius + Soul = Jazz
[1962] Grant Green - Feelin' the Spirit
[1970] Freddie Hubbard - Red Clay

I'm looking forward to some solid education from these records. I think they'll make for excellent weekend listening.

Do you agree with the selections? Have I omitted any critical works?

Thanks!
