Great recommendation Nikhil. Thanks.

Some insights from the liner notes on Qobuz:
"This session is valuable for the majestic playing of tenor great Coleman Hawkins, who performs on half of the eight tracks. Released on the Prestige subsidiary Moodsville -- a label that specialized in recordings with an intimate, reflective atmosphere -- the Moodsville sound doesn't sit comfortably on Hawkins. His playing is brilliantly relaxed, but it's not mood music. Leader Kenny Burrell's playing is much more in line with the Moodsville groove. The guitarist is not amplified as much as he is on his Prestige dates from this time. In fact, he performs on a nylon-string instrument almost as much as he does on his hollow-body electric. Unlike Hawkins, Burrell's subdued contribution is made to measure for this date. Listeners expecting to hear Burrell the hard bopper won't. The key moments come during the interaction between the guitarist and tenor player, especially during their exchanges on Burrell's "Montono Blues." The rhythm section, Hawkins' working band from this period (pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Major Holley, and drummer Eddie Locke) provides impeccable, sublime support."

Here's French jazz trio from 1970 consisting of the harpsichord, cello and tabla.
The musicians on here make up 3/5th of the Bach Modern Quintet. While the 'baroque' in their name probably came from the use of the harpsichord, musically speaking it's anything but. Leaning more towards avant-garde jazz although at times it goes into prog and indo-jazz fusion territory. The last track 'Cesar Go Back Home' almost sounds like an instrumental version of Beefheart's Diddy Wah Diddy.
Despite releasing on the iconic French label; Saravah, the artists on here were rather unknown to me, although they seem to have recorded solo albums for the label too. The producer Pierre Barouh also worked on the stellar Brigitte Fontaine & Art Ensemble of Chicago record, 'Comme à la radio' for Saravah as well.

Jan Johansson - Jazz på svenska (1964)
This is the best selling Swedish jazz album of all time, selling a quarter of a million copies. Yet, not a lot of people know about it. Just includes Jan on piano and Georg Riedel on double bass playing jazz arrangements of Swedish folk songs. Highly recommended.
