African Head Charge - Songs Of Praise
Clock DVA - Advantage
Jorge Reyes & Suso Saiz - Crónica De Castas
Ahmad Jamal, "Blue Moon" was referred to me a few years ago. I still use the song "Morning Mist" as a reference to evaluate equipment.
I found a couple of artists in Tidal’s Folk/Americana genre that I think are pretty good sonically and musically:

Chelsea Williams - Boomerang
Robert Francis - Indian Summer

These are not what most people consider folk music. Both are pretty electronic. I’d call them 21st century singer/songwriter. Definitely worth checking out if you can stream them to see if they’re your cup of tea.

Linda Ronstadt - Hummin’ to Myself

Linda’s second to last album. Great American Songbook with a small jazz band. Most like Diana Krall’s earlier stuff. Not a whiff of country or rock on it, but if you like Linda’s voice, she gives it a pretty good workout here and it hasn’t lost any of its greatness at this point.
