He is a flash dresser too
This is a great thread! Many thanks to all who contributed for introducing me to some artists I've never heard of. E.g. Ellen Andrea Wang...as I write this I'm listening to her Blank Out album on Spotify.
Here's one of my favourites:

Joe Henderson playing the music of Billy Strayhorn.
More faves to come...

Here's another of my long-time favourites:

Branford Marsalis with Milt Hinton and Jeff Tain Watts. Brilliantly played, very easy-going and fun mood, and outstanding sound quality (it's one of my reference recordings). Even on a mediocre system it sounds like they're in the room with you. And if you want to rattle your china cabinet with deep bass, this is a good one.
I think it won, or was at least nominated for, a Grammy.
Cheers,
Svend
PS -- this is a very accessible album by Marsalis, more traditional in style than some of his others. A wonderful intro to jazz for those just discovering the genre. Nothing esoteric or avant-garde here, just straight-ahead jazz that's a ton of fun to listen to.

From the Ezra Collective, a young group out of the UK with terrific energy.
