    Lots of classics, but if you already have all those here's a few newer ones I like....

    McCoy Tyner Trio - Infinity (piano, bass and drums w/ Michael Brecker on tenor sax and added percussionist on two tracks)
    Lots of other good ones in his catalog that have already been mentioned.

    Marcus Roberts Trio - In Honor of Duke (piano, bass and drums w/ added Cuban percussionist on two tracks)
    Marcus Roberts is an amazing pianist and his arranging skills are really highlighted on this most recent one that I have, which is a true trio except for the added percussion on a couple tracks. But my favorite might be As Serenity Approaches from 1991, which has Roberts in both a solo setting and also duetting with some great horn players on 8 of the 19 tracks. Extremely nice recording too, done mostly at St. Joseph Cathedral in New Orleans.

    Jackie Terrason - Rendezvous (w/ Cassandra Wilson)
    Terrason is always a tasteful player but sometimes a bit too restrained for my taste. Add in Cassandra Wilson's vocals and it's not bad at all.

    Chucho Valdes - Bele Bele en La Habana (piano, bass and drums w/ added Cuban percussionist)
    Chucho can play like a man on fire at times and he can also melt your heart with a few slow lines. There is an added percussionist to liven things up a bit.

    This one never grabbed me, listened to it a couple times and shelved it. I think I'll give it a listen this morning and see if anything's changed.
