Many years ago I fell in love with Len Lyons book "The 101 Best Jazz Albums"(1980):
https://www.amazon.com/The-101-Best-Jazz-Albums/dp/0688087205/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362348815&sr=8-1&keywords=Len+Lyons%3A+101+Best+Jazz+Albums
It attempted to grasp the entire world of jazz by 101 records - like we do now.
It partially succeeded, and was a great read. But it was dependent on compilations released in the 70's, as even classic jazz lp's from the 50's and 60's weren't in print in their original form in the 70's.
Today I found this blogpost, which has revised and updated Lyons discography to what is available today:

So, consider this as an inspirational list for including pre-1948 recordings in your personal lists.
