Miles Davis - The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel, Disc 1
Edit: This stuff is so intense that I can't work to it. There's almost a punkiness to the way that Miles and his then young band dismember these standards. And Wayne Shorter is just breathtaking. I always tend to forget him when thinking of my favourite sax players, but he's always way up there. His solo on Walkin'... Wow!
Oscar Peterson - Alternate One from the Album Alternate Blues, killer stuff IMO, just playing this on Spotify, Im gonna have to hunt this album down for sure
More high quality stuff from Elbow - strangely, I don't think I'll be listening to it that often though. I think I prefer another northern band; I Am Kloot, which are similar (but better imo - think Elbow crossed with Stephen Fretwell), whose last two albums were produced by Elbow's Guy Garvey.

Frankly, I'd give 'em the Spanish Archer (I'll get me coat)
Nice album that Alan - was my first introduction to the works of Ms Krauss and Co, and made me investigate further. '100 Miles or More' is another superb album - you may have it already of course.
Today...
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead The Smiths - Meat is Murder The Smiths - Strangeways Here We Come
Alan, I've probably recommended this one before, but it's a fantastic piece of where the piano trio is a decade into the 21st century. Give it a listen if you haven't heard it.

I don't remember if you did, but I am scribbling on a postit note as I type...
The Dave Holland flamenco album is lovely, nice acoustic sound. I don't know any of his other work to compare, but I just checked & it's on spotify.
