Reddit mentions: The best soul-jazz & boogaloo music

Awesome! Idle Moments is my favorite record of all time. Not just regarding jazz, but all time - in the history of music. Joe Henderson's solo during the title track is perfection. Read the liner notes when you get a chance, there's a great story in there about the actual recording session.

First runs on ebay are go for more than $300 at the VG+ level . Don't be discouraged though, the 1970's reissues play great and can still be had for a more affordable price, so definitely grab one if you can! Also if you're anxious for a play copy on vinyl, represses can be had on Amazon for like $10-15. I bought a few of these for gifts and they play just fine.

There are a lot out there. Tribe and De La Soul are obvious...after that I'd say Steinski, Coldcut, or Jurassic 5.

As for specifics,

Steinski - What Does It All Mean?

Steinski - Nothing to Fear

Coldcut - Journeys by Dj

Jurassic 5 - Quality Control

Jurassic 5 - Jurassic 5 EP

And finally, one of the best uses of jazz and hip-hop:

Digable Planets - Blowout Comb

Definitely check What Does it all Mean? and Journey by Djs, they will change the way you think about Hip-Hop and pop music in general.

Buy this compilation http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pulp-Fusion-Loaded-Various-Artists/dp/B00002DEGI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324236952&sr=8-1 then the rest of the series, then Cymande - Renegades of Funk. Then you'll be very happy.

Grant Green - Idle Moments. The opening track is simply amazing.
