I’m currently at 835. Like you, Nina Simone was even better than expected and I’ve found myself listening to even more of her stuff. The one big call out I’d like to make is Bill Evans whose album, Sunday at the Village Vanguard was #30. Was totally new to me and I’m now a big fan of his and have been working through his discography.

He’s one of my favs. My first exposure was kind of blue then it snowballed from there. I love the bill evans trio stuff, but one of my favorite albums right now is affinity. One of his later albums, recommend it if you dig the harmonica

Bill Evans is so good. He has some range too that I didn't expect.
