Snarky Puppy - Culcha Vulcha. They are amazing musicians. Check out this tiny desk concert
Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio - Close But No Cigar. Excellent funk-inspired jazz. Check them out in this KEXP performance
Debussy Piano Works performed by Phillipe Entremont. Entremont adds a beautiful shimmering crystalline beauty to these pieces.
The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
Thundercat - Apocalypse
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois I think this is his best album. It belongs in any best-of collection.
Newen Afrobeat - Newen Plays Fela. You can hear them peform here. They don't have many albums, but they are all (both) good.
If you like Snarky Puppy, have you heard of The Cat Empire ? They're good, but not quite the same genre. I always mention them because I imagine them as competitors to Snarky Puppy due to their names.
I found out about them asking some dude at the bar what bands he would recommend while I was waiting for my then girlfriend to arrive. Unfortunately, they were the only suggestion of his that turned out alright.
Edit: Favorite song from then is "The Crowd" from their self titled album.
