Please forgive another non-rap related thread. But I'm curious and bored.

I have 13 John Coltrane, 11 Yusef Lateef (14 if you count comps of earlier releases), 8 Horace Silver and 6 James Moody.
Hmm, need to step my completist game up...

Cal Tjader first with 14 records (weird and random, kind of embarrassed at a couple of those albums lol).
Probably Donald Byrd next, then Coltrane. A few from Hubbard as well.

The thing I'm always the most amazed at is how many albums Ron Carter played on...holy shit, his bass is alll over my jazz records (even Latin Jazz records like Gato Barbieri). Crazy.

probably Ron Carter. I thought he was the tops from the Tribe reference. He's still at it too. Seems humble. smh...
