Hi @cafe67

I'll list some of my favourites and where possible put a link up for a track from my selections.

First up John Abercrombie & Ralph Towner - Sargasso Sea.

You can't go wrong with Anouar Brahem. My favourites are Le Pas du Chat Noir and Le Voyage de Sahar. These 2 albums featured Francois Couturier on piano and Jean-Louis Matinier on accordion.

 

Next up is Brazilian guitarist and pianist Egberto Gismonti from his album Solo. 

I'm not allowed to upload the link but you can listen to it on you tube. Try Selva Amazonica.

 

On the ambient side there's Eivind Aarset and Jan Bang' s Dream Logic.

As is usually the case most ECM albums can't be auditioned on youtube. Maybe someone else can chime in if they know where you can listen to some songs.

 

I'll get back with more suggestions.

Here's one album which was available on youtube.

Ralph Towner - Old Friends, New Friends.

That triple Azimuth box set came up on ebay for $99. I should've jumped. Missed it by that much, chief.

Better luck next time! One in Poland for around that price: https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?master_id=2759030

(Not sure where the "add to wishlist" button disappeared to on discogs)

They're good albums, enjoying Wheeler's trumpet/flugelhorn and Winstone's transatlantic lilt.
