Along Map's line:
The Theme From Shaft.
Not audiophile and panpotted to within an inch of its life, but a pretty "showy" recording that usually gets the desired response.
At the other end of the scale, the earlier recommendation of St. James Infirmary is great, as are the Duke Ellington Small Band recordings on Pablo. Choose any cut from Intimacy of The Blues or The Queen's Suite.
