I can recommend BWs 'Jazz 'round midnight' if you dont have it, rather laid back & not for listening to in the car!

4 Generations of Miles.
Nice tribute to Miles Davis by 4 former members of his band:
-George Coleman (Sax)
-Mike Stern (Guitar)
-Ron Carter (Bass)
-Jimmy Cobb
From allmusic.com:
Four Generations of Miles is an unusual tribute to Miles Davis, featuring a quartet made up of alumni from four different editions of the trumpeter's bands, while omitting keyboards and trumpet entirely. Drummer Jimmy Cobb, tenor saxophonist George Coleman, bassist Ron Carter, and guitarist Mike Stern concentrate almost exclusively on the 1950s repertoire of Davis, excepting Ron Carter's somewhat abstract, R&B-flavored "81," which is from the mid-'60s. Stern's sparse accompaniment for Coleman in "All Blues" works surprising well in place of a piano, while the percolating take of "On Green Dolphin Street" will get a listener's feet patting. Coleman's soulful playing is the centerpiece of a lush treatment of "Blue in Green." Carter and Cobb provide a superb foundation for the soloists throughout this live recording. The creativity and musicianship throughout this excellent tribute make it stand head and shoulders above most such efforts.

One of my very first of many Jazz LPs & saw them live at Plymouth Theatre Royal not long after it opened.
One of my all time favourite records, if not the favourite. It certainly played a big part in my musical development. Not quite as magical, mysterious and perplexing as it seemed when I first heard it, but still three marvellous pieces of music.
