Best acoustic -natural instruments CD's

Greetings. Just rifling through my CD's after obtaining new set of cables (MIT 770 CVT's) and wonder what are some of the absolute best acoustic/jazz recordings out there? My tastes range from Dead Can Dance to Holly Cole, Monk to Miles, K D lang to Tori Amos. I am looking for excellent discs that feature natural instruments (or a tasteful blend of both ala Dead Can Dance), and minimalist recording techniques. My tastes are very open but I am finding a need for new music. Any suggestions? P.S if you think most Diana Krall albums are well recorded, you may not want to give your input.... I think they suck. Thanks much. If you want to hear a INCREDIBLE RECORDING, check out Mary Stallings "Fine and Mellow" Canadian import on the Clarity label....unbelievable.

Great suggestions-- Alot of discs that I had never heard of. I have been searching for imports by Dead Can Dance and having a hard time there. NPR local stations tend to be my source for discovering new music but I have not had much chance to do this and do not have a tuner in my system. Does anyone know if Brenden Perry has put out solo stuff or intends to? Imminent Holly Cole releases?
Does anyone have an opinion about Cafe Blue--particularly the HDCD version and if it is that much better than the original recording? I appreciate everyone's input! No offense on the Krall comment, by the way, I am just a little tired of the hype.
