Rock:
Anything by dEUS (no, I don’t have the key locked, that’s the only way to write it), sadly very compressed masterings lately. http://deus.be/
Rain, Tree, Crow, “Rain, Tree, Crow”
not unknown, but too easily forgotten: Colosseum: “Live!”

Jazz:
Juergen Friedrich, “Pollock”
Fresu, Galliano, Lundgren: “Mare Nostrum”
Roessler, Vogt, Vitous, “Between the Times”
and another forgotten one: Weather Report, “Sweetnighter”

Strange bedfellows from both worlds (not everyone’s cup of tea, fantastic “projects” for those who do like it):
Jack Bruce with hr-Bigband, “Live at 37th Deutsches Jazzfestival”
Hiram Bullock with WDR Bigband, “Plays the Music of Jimi Hendrix”

Undefinable:
Hadouk Trio, “Baldamore” (there’s a recent live thread on Hadouk with many links to music, check it out)

These are some I thought of instantly, I’ll just cut it short here without further pondering, there are of course so many more…
Enjoy!

If you're into Gypsy Jazz (like Django Rheinhardt)...check out Alphonso Ponticelli from the Green Mill in Chicago...top notch... I like his first album best. I've seen his group "Swing Gitan" live and they are fantastic.
