An album to check out would be Tommy Flanagan's "Overseas"

All brushes, all Elvin! Beautiful work.

PT, I don't know your skill level, but if you are just starting to explore jazz with brushes, the CD that comes with Riley's Art of Bop has technique instructions and a couple of play along songs. Along with the other fine suggestions here in this thread, it might be the thing to get you started.

Oh yeah, Vernel Fournier. I always forget obvious stuff. He's the greatest.
