There are definitely some great recordings on this thread! I'd offer another plug for the Bob Moses Gramavision label large ensemble discs When Elephants Dream of Music, Visit with the Great Spirit and Time Stood Still.

Maria Schneider hasn't been mentioned yet (unless I missed it...)

All of her recordings are worthwhile, but the most recent, Sky Blue on Artist Share, available at her website is the one I'd recommend to start with: it strikes me as a culmination of her artistic growth to date with outstanding compositions/arrangements and some wonderful solo work as well (Ingrid Jensen in particular!)

And:

Satoko Fujii Orchestra NY - Undulation

Information, mail order purchase of CDs and a discography available here.

Thanks for pulling my coattails earlier on the Bennie Wallace CD. Definitely have to find a copy of this one...
