The first two songs I know (and like, and have on CD, iPod and iTunes); the third, I hadn't heard until this evening.
Thank you for sharing.
Given the topics under discussion earlier, it should come as small surprise that I am listening to several tracks by Jan Hammer (from Miami Vice, that is, the TV series, Miami Vice), including:
Crockett's Theme, Last Flight, Evan, The Trial And The Search, The Talk, Flashback, One Way Out, Angelina Flashback, among others.

I have Siri playing a mix, but at that moment "Gimme Shelter" was playing. Right now it's "She's a Rainbow".
Many times I'm more eclectic with my musical tastes, but my Dad brought me up on classic rock and sometimes I go back to the basics!
"Gimme Shelter" and "She's A Rainbow" are two terrific tracks.
Actually, while I like some tracks from the Stones, I am not really a fan of the band, their lifestyle, or much (though not all) of their music.
However, I do regret the passing of Charlie Watts, a decent man and gifted artist.
Inexplicably, one of the Rolling Stones tracks that I have always loved is The Last Time (which I first heard on the Rolled Gold double album). Still love it.
And, even more inexplicably, some years later (decades later) I had bought (for I loved it), the track (single) "Bittersweet Symphony" by the Britpop group, The Verve.
Cough.
Still love both.
I now know why.
Okay:
Confession time:
I had forgotten just how good some of the tracks (albums) released by the Stones were.
Am enjoying listening to Rolled Gold (ahem, quite some time ago....as a kid in school (what Americans would call High School), I had bought this as a set of - yes, what can I say, what we knew as LPs....)
This popped up on EweTube, a reunion of Squeeze in 2019 (!) that I wasn't even aware of. I loved this band back in the '80s.

Back in the '80s there was a synth-pop band that I took a liking to, Swing-Out Sister. The vocalist was very good, and the tracks had a lot of cool chord progressions and unexpected key changes/NOT key changes (the build-up chords suggested a keychange, which never happened, but then later in the song you weren't expecting one and it smacked you upside the head. So Cool!)
Doodooz Tube just showed me this, Level 42 + orchestra inviting the SOS vocalist out, and doing a couple tunes; again, suggested key changes that don't happen, and then key changes smacking you, LOVE it! Break Out was SOS's sig song, with the same key shenanigans. Enjoy!

The album gets me every time, love it! One of my favorite AC/DC songs is on the album!!!!
AC/DC - Big Balls
You really don't need a drummer to play jazz, it's so reliant on the bass instead. This track is just piano, sax, and bass. I've actually done gigs like that myself, with no drummer.
