Late night jazz suggestions please


Hi, I was hoping some of you that have extensive jazz knowledge could suggest some good late night, atmospheric jazz albums to listen to. You know the kind - like in the movies when the weary detective comes home and pours a big tumbler of scotch, and he lives in a house or apartment that seems way beyond the means of a civil servant, and puts on some cool, sexy jazz. And definitely instrumental only. Thanks in advance.

Oliver Nelson - Jazzhattan Suite on Verve

Many of these cuts are on "The Argo, Verve and Impulse Big Band Sessions" box set on Mosaic. But it's a bit pricy since it was discontinued. 
Gerald Wilson -

Big Band Modern on The Jazz Factory Records

1946-1954 on Classics Records

In My Time on Mack Avenue Records
