Looking for new to me Jazz music

Charles Lloyd - Fish Out of Water, The Water is Wide
Charles can get out there, but these albums are pretty restrained, too restrained for some people

Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue
A classic Blue Note album

Joshua Redman - Wish
Pat Metheny on guitar for this album

Steve Cardenas - Blue Has A Range
New guitar-led album, fits in with what you’re looking for

Mark Isham - Blue Sun
Played with Van Morrison in the 80s (trumpet), does a lot of movie soundtracks. This album is very ethereal and relaxing.

You can find them all on Qobuz.

Yes he was.  They put out albums in 2012, 2014, and 2016 as a septet.  

Renee Rosnes plays in an all woman band that put out an excellent album recently.  The band and album are named Artemis.  It is nice to get a feminine perspective on today's jazz.
