Peter Martin

You must have a listen to Tord Gustavsen Trio's Changing Places (ECM 1834). Brilliant music making, great sound. You can get a few sample of the record on ECM's website.

Not just piano but vocals plus piano recommendations;
Stacy Kent comes to mind. Any of her collections except perhaps her latest "The Boy Next Door" which I find is leaning towards pop.

Also try her hubby's (Jim Tomlinson) release of "Brazilian Sketches". His sax playing is addictive plus Stacey apppearing in some of the tracks. A marriage made in heaven, I mean the voice & the sax playing too :-).

I recently discovered Dave's True Story "Nature" which is pretty relaxing as well.
