The presence of Pat Metheny on electric guitar on Michael Brecker’s “Tales From The Hudson” may be a deal breaker as far as not being “all acoustic”, but it is certainly modern mainstream.  Fantastic record with an amazing cast of McCoy Tyner, Joe...

Gadd and Erskine are both great drummers. Different styles as you say, pjw. Personally, I find Erskine’s playing more to my liking with Steps. Just enough feel-good looseness and not so relentlessly metronomic as Gadd. Good example: https://youtu... 
How do you add color?
@mapman, **** Gotta love a conversation about sound that’s talking about color. Aren’t those two different senses? Go figure! Only audiophiles……**** Not really 😊 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmeu3dwBjdGzVIQT6wZ1TzdxyH2573tsn&si=IV...

@tylermunns , oh, please! Take a chill pill and relax, man. Obviously, I struck a chord (😊) with you. It should be obvious why I used the phrases that I used. “Pompous”? Really? Read your own words to see pomposity. I’ll make it short: The use o... 
The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings
Let’s bring this discussion “down to earth”. A little reality check, if you will. I am as much of a “purist” as anyone else; probably even more so. There is no question that the use of electronic processing in the music recording industry has bec... 
How do you add color?

Hi pjw, good comments. But, not sure I agree with a couple of your assertions. Pretty bold comment that Rollins was a better improviser than was Coltrane. From my vantage point to deem one better than the other is a bit of an apples/oranges issue...
