This way you will remove the variable of unfamiliar music. Warning - What goes below may appear biased, and after all isn't that's what the music industry is all about? :) Many people use Donald Fagen records for rich arrangements that still leave alot of space in the music due to moderate amounts of compression (Morph The Cat, Kamakiriad, Nighfly) and I'd include anything recorded by Bruce Swedien in general (he worked on many Michael Jackson albums). In that family, also go for Quincy Jones - he has immaculate taste for production quality. A surprising amount of smooth jazz features the cabasa, guiro, maracas and other latin percussion instruments. Consider Chuck Loeb's Balance. Last but not least, I'd include Pat Metheny with, say We live Here, but that's just a start... Let your ears be the judge!
