Recommended music - other than classical and pop

I am not sure there is a thread on what Sonos is truly about - the music, so this might be an interesting thread. I have left out classical because that deserves a thread of its own and modern pop because it all sounds the same to me.
I have Phil Keaggy strumming Solitude from his Acoustic Sketches album right now in the bedroom on a play 1 pair and sounding very good indeed.
Recently heard and equally good music and mastering:
1. Michel Petrucciani and NHOP
2. Beyond the Missouri Sky - Metheny and Haden
3. Chiaroscuro - Fresu and Towner
4. Jan Johannsen - Jazz pa Svenska
5. The Astounding Eyes of Rita - Anouar Brahem
6. Last Dance/Jasmine - Jarrett and Haden
7. Saturday Morning - Ahmad Jamal
8. Melos - Paolo Fresu
All but the last are ITunes 256kbps purchases, the last a lossless CD rip.
Very little lost in translation for the lossy thing and Sonos convenience.
Any recommendations on similar music that uses the silence between the notes effectively?

      Really appreciating Trio X of Sweden. A collection called Traumerei. Brings out the best of the 2 by 1's and the sub.
      Kumar - haven't heard from you on this thread for a while. Anything to recommend?

      Nothing recently released; but what is playing right now is Charlie Rouse/Unsung Hero. Track, Billy's Blues. Excellent album from the aptly named Rouse. Everyone talks of Monk, but Rouse is a large part of why many Monk's albums are classics.

      Also, a newer album that is a classic piano trio: Hod O'Brien: Blue Alley sets. Excellent music, crisp recording with some splendid walking bass lines.
