Not as bad as Miles Davis Pangea. It cost 17$ for the mp3 album or 1$ each for its two 45min tracks
Protip: There's a little button up there that lets you edit your original post.
In answer to your question: The lines between the classical and jazz genres are frequently blurred (look, for example, at Gershwin's orchestral music). In fact, the lines between any of the genres you mentioned can be blurred: jazz and hip-hop become rather muddled in albums like Miles Davis' Doo Bop.
That particular song you linked to would by most be categorized far closer to jazz than to classical, if only for the writer (Count Basie) and the performer (Nina Simone). Maybe try some other works that are just for piano and voice--try listening to a bit of Schubert's Winterreise and get back to me with your thoughts?
The Headhunters have their own stuff too!

I love hip hop and I agree completely, that dude rapping on "Doo Bop Song" kills a great song. Seek out the ["Doo Bop Song" single] (http://www.amazon.com/Doo-Bop-Song-Chocolate-Miles-Davis/dp/B00000DDR0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1406910946&sr=8-4&keywords=doo+bop+song) and check out the "Doo-Bop Song [Edit Without Rap]". Without the rap, I think it's one of Miles' top 5 best songs from the 80s.
Dude, check this out: they're only $9.79 from Street Life.
"Here" By Gridlock on Further
"Return to Forever" by Chick Corea on Return to Forever
"Ultravisitor" by Squarepusher on Ultravisitor
"Un poco sostenuto - Allegro" by Brahms, Symphony #1
"Oiseaux Tristes and Jeux D'eau", two pieces by Maurice Ravel.
I could go on and on and on.. the only reason I listen to fuckin' music is to escape reality, dude.
Mulatu Astatqe's Ethiopes 4 and Charles Mingus' Blues & Roots! In the mood for funk? Miles Davis' Star People
Two collections worth getting are:
Miami Vice: Complete Collection (2 CDs - 42 songs & a 12-page booklet. 22 tracks previously unreleased)
https://www.amazon.com/Miami-Vice-Collection-Jan-Hammer/dp/B00005YORR
Another good one:
Escape From Television (1 CD - 15 tracks)
https://www.amazon.com/Escape-Television-JAN-HAMMER/dp/B000026E1Y/ref=ntt_mus_dp_dpt_3
That one does include a remixed Crockett's Theme - called the 9mm mix. The album cover on the youtube video you've linked does show that it came from "Escape from Television" so that may be at least 1 of the ones you are looking for.

Check out that video, you'll start to get a good grip on Modes.
The key for me and it might not work for everyone, but it worked for me, was to look at the fretboard as a whole. It was only when I stopped looking at the fretboard as position 1, position 2...etc that I could finally get my training wheels off.
I didn't really appreciate Kind of Blue the first time I heard it, though I did grow to like it later. Both Kind of Blue and Time Out are good albums, but the artist who actualy got me into jazz is Artie Shaw. Based on that, I would recommend big band swing. Bug Music by Don Byron could be a good one. It includes contemporary recordings of works by Raymond Scott, Duke Ellington, and some others.
If you know something about what music the people in question are already into, you could choose jazz that appeals to that musical interest.
For classical, Foxie by Bob James or nearly anything by Opera Swing Quartet or Jacques Loussier would be good.
For new age, nearly anything by Keiko Matsui. I started with No Borders.
For rock, I Got No Kick Against Modern Jazz: A GRP Artist's Celebration of the Songs of the Beatles.
Absolutely the 1975 one from One From The Vault. Not to mention the sound is among the best ever released.
