Don't remember what you've heard from Jimmy or Stanley but they've obviously done some great work together ("Back At The Chicken Shack" is understandably the most popular) but I'll go ahead and recommend "Root Down" for the former- funky as hell live album with wah-wah organ which provides the sample for the Beastie Boys song of the same name (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mS0FXt6oaHVdm9v9fp-w7mWyMN891z9Ts) and "The Blue Hour Sessions" for the latter- Stanley + The 3 Sounds, silky smooth late night listening and dig that piano player daddy-o (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_npHnsC2n7NTyB-WkVSmLz4ek6XkH_6YdM)
