I loved #3, too. The saxophonist sounded familiar in more of a Lennart Aberg way rather than a Jan Garbarek way and I didn't even notice the bass at first. My initial thought was Europeans, JAPO not ECM, and a whole "we once played with George Russell" vibe. JSngry's hint tells me I got the Russell connection right, but, if this is what I think it is, the more well-known pianist and bassist were a surprise to me.
