The Duke Spirit
See Power 4:48
Magenta 3:17
from Sky Is Mine 2017
Most of the Duke Spirit's albums are graced by only one or two of their stately ballads, but on Sky Is Mine, they're in the majority...  Indeed, the somber restraint they show on Sky Is Mine ends up feeling and sounding liberating, and the result is the band's most beautiful album yet.

Greatly talented jazz guitarist whose remarkably fluent style is suited to styles from early bop to fusion. 
Charlie Hunter
Everybody Has a Plan Until They Get Punched in the Mouth 5:01
No Money, No Honey 3:52
from Everybody Has a Plan Until They Get Punched in the Mouth 2016
Charlie Hunter's Everybody Has a Plan Until They Get Punched in the Mouth is not only his first recording for a major label in nine years, but his first with a larger-than-trio-sized band since 2003. His personnel include drummer Bobby Previte, trombonist Curtis Fowlkes (who both played on 2015's Let the Bells Ring On and 2003's Right Now Move), and cornetist Kirk Knuffke. The album's title paraphrases a quote by former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson. It's a metaphorical reference to the contrast between an envisioned plan for living and the reality that transpires later.
Hunter saturates his approach in blues and vintage R&B here. To get the vibe right, the band recorded live in a Hudson, New York studio; there are no overdubs -- everybody walked the tightrope. First single "No Money, No Honey" opens with a guitar hammer on, but the band quickly establishes a funky Meters-esque vamp that gets inverted by knotty jazz syncopation...

Charlie Hunter - 7-string guitar, Curtis Fowlkes - trombone, Kirk Knuffke - cornet, Bobby Previte - drums

Busy Montreal musician/producer known for running the Drones Club studio and fronting Sheer Agony, but also for his solo work. 
Jackson MacIntosh
Can It Be Love 2:40
My Dark Side 3:07
from My Dark Side 2018
... He decided to turn them into an album, and 2018's My Dark Side is the result. Digging into subdued '70s ballads like one might hear on a Todd Rundgren or Harry Nilsson record, dishing out heartbroken lyrics that were the result of two breakups in the span of three years, and keeping things sparse and simple, MacIntosh reveals himself as a very credible singer/songwriter in the classic sense. The record begins with a suite of slow, sad songs that showcase his aching, melancholy vocals and create a late-night, crying-in-a-drink mood that's hard to shake. Built around clunky drum machines, electric pianos, occasional guitars, and a thick coat of reverb, the songs come off like bedroom Memphis soul at times, only MacIntosh seems far too bummed to break a soulful sweat...
