The Mothership Connection would be 2nd pick of 1st if not for the Live album. Definitely a classic
As for Jazz, yeah, Miles was a genius, as was Coltrane; I really need to dig deeper into Mingus, Monk, Adderly, Evans and Brubeck's stuff.
I've only touched the surface with their music.
I just found out about Antonio Carlos Jobim last week, my sister put me onto his music. He's got some really soothing and easy going music.
He's a Jazz artist from back in the day, he passed back in the early 90's. Really talented guy tho. You should definitely check out his music.
I haven't even checked out an album of his yet so I wouldn't know which to tell u to check out, I just checked random songs of his out on youtube and liked what I heard
Yes ma'am, this music stuff is something beautiful.
