Who is an artist (or two) that you're really enjoying listening to these days that some of us may not be aware of? (Or maybe we just need a reminder about them, because they may not be on our radar currently?) Please limit it to 2. It doesn't have to be gypsy jazz or even jazz. I'll get it started:
Brother Jack McDuff (I'm digging pretty much everything he recorded in the 60's these days, which is a lot of material. Especially the sessions with my favorite guitarists from the era (George Benson, Kenny Burrell & Grant Green).
The Everly Brothers (I hear those voices and I'm immediately transported into a peaceful, happy mood).

Gonzales Solo Piano
Charlie Hunter new album. Check out this jam, amazing band, it drives like a bulldozer
He makes it look so easy.
Canadian jazz guitarist Ed Bickert (rip) telecaster
Usually with gibson humbucker neck pu. Very underated.
Earl Scruggs
Mills Brothers.
Old album but every time I pick it up again, always hear something new - "The Itch" by Benjamin Herman (who some may have seen perform with Robin Nolan), first track M.M.:
I've always loved the juxtaposition between retro rock/r&b, smack-you-in-the-face bebop and straight up free improv bizarre weirdness - super fun album, will probably always be my favorite from Benjamin and for those who have never heard of him before, he's an incredible Dutch saxophonist.
