Hey, for some great jazz check out the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, the 
intro 'Tank!' is a killer great bass line and killer horns.  If you 
buy the complete DVD set it comes with the first CD!  The band the 
"Seat Belts" are really good, and the arranger/conductor Yoko Kanno 
really knows her stuff (she also did the Macross stuff.)  I even 
noticed in the liner notes that some of the tracks were recorded in 
Rudy Van Gelder's studio (the 'unofficial' Blue Note studio.)  I then 
searched on Amazon for them, and though their in the $40 range, I 
also noticed a remix album with tracks by, Matt Hebert, Fila 
Brazilia, 4hero and others, so does anyone know a slightly cheaper 
source?  Dirk?  At least below $30.
As for the anime it's really cool and on of the characters quotes 
Bird and other jazz greats.
