Vibraphone recommendations?


I love the sound of the vibraphone. 2 of my favorite albums are Tjader-ized by Dave Samuels and Return Of The Candyman by Charlie Hunter.

I've never been able to get into any of the classic jazz vibe players like Gary Burton, so I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some newer albums, like the 2 mentioned above, where vibraphone is the primary lead instrument?

Thanks!

Joe Locke (a virtuoso vibes player) has a Henry Mancini album. It's excellent. Do a search.
Definately check out any material by Bobby Hutcherson. One that I like is the Cuban influenced "Ambos Mundos". He is a virtuoso in the true sense of the word.
not 'newer', but have you checked out Walt Dickerson? ('to my queen' may be my favorite of his)
You should definitely check out Gary Burton (together with Ralph Towner) "Slide Show". It's brilliant..... and high end sound by ECM!
Good luck!
