Pjw, thanks for the James Carter recommendation. Looked for it on the Tube; not there yet. I look forward to hearing it.
For me, one of the all-time greatest instrumental pairings in Jazz was the collaboration between Bill Evans and Stan Getz. To my ears they both lived in very similar musical planets. I posted this previously:

I post it again because it was long thought to be the only recorded collaboration between the two. Not sure how this eluded my radar, but I just became aware of this other, previously available only as a bootleg, live recording:

Evans, by his own admission, was heavily influenced by Classical composers. A beautiful example of this “cross pollination” of genres in his very interesting chord voicings on their fabulous rendition of “The Peacocks” @ 39:57. Bela Bartok with a touch of Ravel all the way.
