Every once in a while, I do a search for "Best Sounding CDs" or something similar. I've been doing this for years and I've noticed that pretty much most of the lists contain the same recommendations I've been seeing for years. So, recently, I modified my search to include newer releases and it turned up all sorts of suggestions, most of which I hadn't ever heard of before. Perfect!
Anyhow, one such item was
Monk'Estra Vol. 1 by John Beasley. Almost immediately I was able to tell this wasn't music I was interested in buying however,
@rammisframmis,
@PaulyT and
@Wardsweb all came to mind because it seemed like music they'd enjoy. So there you go. Sample away.
