I have to say, that, i have also found myself gravitating to duo-trio musical arrangements... more space for the instruments to sound but also the beauty, challenge, and interaction of group work is on readily display.
I'd also reccomend Mr. Norman Blake, especially his album 'Meeting on Southern Soil' with Mr. Peter Ostroushko, thats a fine album that has consistently been played here for years now. A more recent discovery for me was the music of Jody Stecher and Kate Brislin, their albums are stunning. Also, i'd reccomend some of Yank Rachell's earlier recordings.
