Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

J-IV

@Tago-Mago
Going to try to restrain myself here as it’s difficult to recommend a handful of records from masters like Monk, Tatum, and Peterson. Also dependent on what you’re feeling. @GraemeE has some good reccs, here are my additions:

Tatum:

The Genius of Art Tatum (great overview of his playing and virtuosity).
Art Tatum & Roy Eldridge Quartet (great example of him playing with other bandmates. Sounds like everyone is trying to keep up with him).
Art Tatum and Ben Webster (two masters locked in their craft).

Peterson:

Tenderly (kind of his trademark late-night, wine sipping, wandering thoughts type of piano playing).
Oscar Peterson+One Clark Terry (you add a trumpet in the mix and it’s pretty much a party. This album oozes the blues).
Romance (most folks don’t know Peterson had some vocals too which may sound similar to another famous crooner/pianist)

Monk:

Thelonius in Action Recorded at the Five Spot (taste of Monks unique sound and phrasing, live in all its glory)
Thelonius Monk Orchestra at Town Hall ( a bit more digestible. You see Monks range here with a bigger band and again, all live)
Thelonius Alone in San Francisco ( my personal favorite solo Monk record)

@Bridger @endo made me think of this story from The Onion and laugh. Yamaha has a diverse array of products…like unimaginably diverse. We have one of their pianos

I used to play a Yamaha trombone, and drove a Yamaha bike (SR 500), but not at the same time.

Gang Of Four - Songs Of The Free

@Tago-Mago a bit late to this, but here are a few, avoiding the others choices as they're great too

Monk - At Town Hall & With John Coltrane. I'm quite fond of his album of Ellington standards too, and his Blue Note work.

Peterson - Sonny Stitt sits in with, Very Tall & The Sound of the Trio

Tatum isn't quite to my taste, I've got a couple in my selling pile (you'd be welcome to them for free if you were in the UK). There's an album with Buddy Rich and Lionel Hampton that's worth a listen, and a solo one called the Genius of Art Tatum.
