Bill Evans Trio-Waltz for Debbie;Live at the Village Vanguard; and Moonbeams
Dave Brubeck-Late Night Brubeck and The Crossing
Charlie Haden and Kenny Barron-Night in the City
Stan Getz-Cafe Montmartre
Jim Brock-Tropic Affair (Latiny but smooth)
Getz/Gilberto
Keith Jarrett-The Melody at Night With You
Herbie Hancock-Maiden Voyage
...for starters. BTW the TGT-The Ground, mentioned above is excellent also...haven't heard "Changing Places".
These don't have the "classics" you mentioned. I don't know where you would find instrumental versions only of these on a good recording. These are all great smooth Jazz recordings, however.
