Tough one, maybe I'll go with.....
Danny Gatton & Buddy Emmons. Red Neck Jazz Explosion
Grant Green. Solid
John Mayall. A Hard Road
Duke Ellington. Far East Suite
Coleman Hawkins. Body and Soul
Sonny Rollins Saxophone Collossus
James Booker. Lost Paramount Tapes
This isn't a list of the seven best jazz and blues records in my collection. It's an attempt to answer your question. I'd want a nice mix of jazz and blues, guitar, piano, and sax, up tempo and slow, melodic and challenging, etc. This could do the trick.
