Highlights include:
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
John Coltrane: Giant Steps
Ornette Coleman: Shape of Jazz to Come; Tomorrow is the Question
Charles Mingus: Mingus Ah Um; Blues & Roots
David Brubeck: Time Out
Horace Silver: Blowing the Blues Away; Finger Poppin
Bill Evans: Portrait in Jazz
Sun Ra: Jazz in Sillhouette
Ellington: many released including Ellington Suites and Anatomy of a Murder
Cannonball Adderley: In San Francisco, others
Probably any year from 1959-1965 could qualify but 59 probably has the most recordings that people actually listen to.
Considering I recognize two album titles from the list, which is between 1 and 2 more than any other possible year, I have to agree. :P
My personal preference is for pre-war jazz, but since that was an era of singles there's no way it could compete.
In terms of influence, the Coltrane and Coleman recordings are probably the most significant.
The Davis and Brubeck recordings are the most recognizable and widely played.

Which, unsurprisingly, are the ones I recognized. Then again, I'm not much of a jazz ... head? Is that what you call jazz fans?
I like listening to it now and then, but it will usually be random Spotify playlists without paying much attention.
Poor Mingus must have had a rough childhood

1939 would be a very strong contender with the first recording of Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday, Coleman Hawkins' famous recording of Body and Soul, some of the best recordings from the Lester Young-Page-Jones era Basie Orchestra, the early Benny Goodman recordings with Charlie Christian, and the first recordings of the Blanton-Webster era Ellington orchestra.
