Well-produced recent jazz cd's - recommendations?


Hey all,

Apologies if this is a redundant question/thread; lemme know if it is. Anyhow, My system consists of Reference 3a de Capo i's powered by a YBA 201 integrated, fed by a Rotel 1072 cd player all connected by Clear Day cables and IC's. I use it for mostly well-produced modern folk and jazz - think Iron and Wine, the Bad Plus, Hank Dogs, Greg Brown, Jim Hall, Diana Krall, Innocence Mission, Marc Johnson/Eliane Elias, etc.

I'm looking for recommendations for similar, well-produced artists and cd's. No smooth jazz (though the Yellowjackets are wonderful!); group vocal, or cheese; but just good, musically -layered instrumental jazz made in the last 20 years.

Any ideas? And thank you.
