Now you have captured my interest. Is it anything like Cluster?
Joe Henderson - Canyon Lady (1975)
Jason Isbell - Something More Than Free (2015)
At the dawn of 2018, I bought The Nashville Sound and ended up liking it a lot. A lot, lot. The music is made for me as far as country/americana goes, but the lyrics are what really drive my appreciation. I finally decided to try another Isbell album and went with the one just before TNS.
Only 1.5 listens yet, but it's another winner so far.

Kris Bowers - Heroes + Misfits (2014)
Classically trained, attended Julliard, won the Thelonious Monk competition in 2011, proficient on all keys and gadgets and electronics. This is a good first album, but it's been a few years and I was beginning to wonder if he had been passed by and had lost his career. But I just noticed that he's done two movie soundtracks (The Green Book and Monsters And Men) so I guess it's not a career-ending but a career-shift. I'm glad he's still making music, but I'll miss him in Jazzland.
The AllMusicGuide review mentions comparisons from Phillip Glass to Stevie Wonder to Oscar Peterson.

Nunquam non paratus
That's a little hard for me to say, having listened to it only once so far. I do like it quite a bit.
It's quite a bit like Tim Story's best work, and he has been one of my favorite New Age / Ambient composers, and Roedelius is a co-contributor / performer in Lunz.
While I don't see this album on Spotify, I do see a Lunz 3 there. It's a new (2019) release.
I was going to post but lost track

SFJazz Collective - 2018 Live: The Music of Antônio Carlos Jobim disc 2 of 2 this time around, for the first time.
EDIT: I came across this quote from the SFJAZZ.org website.
What a tantalizing group of potential honorees. Ellington, EWF, Weather Report, and Hubbard. I motion that the Collective make those four nominees their NEXT four choices. Though not necessarily in that order. I don't know whether I want EWF or Hubbard first.
