I'd prefer live CDs, but studio releases will do. Any recommendations, jazz fans?

Art Tatum, a guide to his recorded music / Arnold Laubich, Ray Spencer [Newark, N.J.] : Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University ; Metuchen, N.J. : Scarecrow Press, 1982.
I think I remember reading a long time ago that there weren't too many live recordings of Art Tatum. Here are two:
http://www.amazon.com/Art-Tatum-Live-Vol-1934-1944/dp/B000086BBD/sr=8-1/qid=1163495880/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8021550-4638517?ie=UTF8&s=music
http://www.amazon.com/Live-1945-1949-Vol-Art-Tatum/dp/B00009IC6Y/sr=8-2/qid=1163495880/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-8021550-4638517?ie=UTF8&s=music
Oscar Peterson, on the other hand, may still be the most recorded jazz musician of all time, the peak of his career being the late 50s/early 60s. The most complete discography I can find is at

My personal live favorites of his are The Russia Concert and Live in Paris
http://www.amazon.com/Russia-Oscar-Peterson/dp/B000000XNW/sr=8-1/qid=1163496922/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8021550-4638517?ie=UTF8&s=music
Both recordings include solo, duo and trio pieces.
Not much I know about Max Roach other than that he played drums with Charlie Parker, and had a few famous recordings with Buddy Rich that I think were referred to as 'drum wars.' Here's a comprehensive discography:
