If you like folk, you may also like...

Try Pierre Bensusan's NICE FEELING. It's an excellent 18-tract compilation of folk-jazz impressionism.

One of the first folk artists to head towards jazz was (I believe) Joni Mitchell.

From there, the jazz/folk path leads to Rickie Lee Jones ("Pirates" is great, as is "Flying Cowboys") and a host of others.

Try Bruce Cockburn's 1979 album Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws.

Keith Jarrett -"The Mourning of A Star" (if only for the lovely rendition of Joni Mitchell's All I Want)

Pentangle surely deserve a mention here?

Joni Mitchell herself - an increasing jazz influence from 'Court and Spark' onwards, with appearances from the likes of Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, culminating in the 'Mingus' collaboration.

Richard Thompson occasionally knocks off some Djangoish/swing guitar. Listen to his version of 'Rockin' in Rhythm' and his song 'Al Bowly's in Heaven'.
