    Excellent choices mike65, thank you.

    I particularly like the Quincy Jones track and Roy Budd's Black is Beautiful - are the rest of the soundtracks good enough to be worth buying?

    The soundtracks for Dollars and Pelham are worth buying if you can find them, only have odds 'n sods of the rest featured. There is a very nice Roy Budd greatest hits "Buddism" thats well worth getting hold of.

    Thanks mike65, I'll take a look.

    I guess it's far too obvious to be suggesting Curtis Mayfield's Superfly to you?
    The 2001 reissue is probably my most played album of the last couple of years.

    And it's probably far more soul / funk than jazz / blues, sorry about that (though I reckon there's a fair dose of jazz influence in there).

    Quincy Jones is fantastic.

    I'd also recommend his scores for

    Bob And Carol And Ted And Alice
    Enter Laughing
    For Love Of Ivy
    How To Steal A Diamond
    In The Heat Of The Night
    Roots
    The Deadly Affair
    The Italian Job
    The Lost Man
    The Pawnbroker
    The Slender Thread
    They Call Me Mr Tibbs

    plus he has about a dozen more studio LPs that are worth picking up
