Permafrost in Alaska has been noticeably thawing over that last couple of decades. Permafrost researchers at the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska predict the beginning of catostrophic thawing within 10 years. The infrastructure built on top of the permafrost is crumbling at an ever increasing rate. Millions of your tax dollars are already being spent to rebuild infrastructure every year, and this will turn into to billions if the permafrost researchers are right. Our powerful Senator Ted Stevens will make sure of that.
B.T.W. The change in the Earth's albedo will be the biggest climatic impact of an ice free Arctic Ocean. Rather than reflecting all that sunlight the dark ocean water will just store up the heat. Ought to be one hell of a "Lake Effect".
Biologically, the loss of habitat and invasive species will lead to the mass extinction of many Arctic species.
An already compiled list that contains many of my favorites is the NPR Basic Jazz Record Library
(http://www.nprjazz.org/links/). I would agree with the list's compilers that they are all must have jazz albums.
A different approach might be to flip through a copy of a "Real Book" or a "Fake Book" to familiarize yourself with what are considered jazz "Standards". Then you can be on the earlook for arrangements that please you.
Personally there are too many to recommend.
Different eras and styles: Swing, Kansas-city style, Bebop, Cool, Hard Bop, Modern, Fusion, etc. Perhaps you're only interested in New Orleans?
Which instruments? Percussive, Strings, Piano, Winds, or Brass? Combo, solo, big-band?
Vocal? Female or male singer? Solo, duo, or perhaps a chorus?
Region of the country?
Socio-economics of artist(s)? Black or White?
Record Label? Recording studio? Whether the artist was stoned or not when they were recorded?
Tenor sax suggestion:
I think that everyone should have something from each of the big four tenor saxophonists: Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, and Dextor Gordon. That is all.

Take Europium. It is the most reactive of the rare earth elements, but there are no commercial applications for europium metal.
It's on your dime to boot.
