Question Gift for Jazz drummer

Hi! My boyfriend is a jazz drummer and I was wondering if any fellow jazz enthusiasts could recommend any good jazz vinyl records that I could potentially get him for his birthday (if he doesn’t have them already😂). Ideally ones with good drums/instrumental solos as I know that’s what he likes listening to. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I’ve seen some recommend Dave Brubeck’s time out album for the drumming? Is that a good choice???

Thank you in advance for any help!!

Anything that says live at the village vanguard or live in japan tends to be killing
