This album here.
Its very good imo.

Madlib's stuff is pretty jazz-y, check out Madvillainy, Piñata, and his work as Quasimoto.

De La Soul

also seconding Digable Planets and Madlib, and monitoring this thread. My love for jazz rap far exceeds my knowledge of it.

Not officially jazz rap, but had a big influence

everything that's been mentioned so far, also: main source, camp lo, peanut butter & charisma, and early common. Also anything that J dilla, madlib, q-tip, dj premier, or pete rock put their hands on is garaunteed to be top notch
