I really enjoy this record. What others would one recommend that are similar?

A few that might be up your alley:

Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWC5x9G45yo

Bill Evans - Waltz for Debbie https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUA0n-uVUEwLu2aEtHit-...

Possibly some Chet Baker (though he does a lot of vocal work too; I'm more partial to instrumentals): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4PKzz81m5c

Horace Silver - Songs for my Father https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWeXOm49kE0

Chet Baker - Let’s get lost Gerry Mulligan - Night Lights

Also check out Bossa Nova by João Gilberto for a similar vibe but a different style.

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady is really good, personally love the Track C

A more recent one is Yussef Kamal - Black Focus

John Coltrane is on Kind of Blue and his 1960 album Giant Steps explores similar stuff.

Giant Steps is a great suggestion, I second this.

These are two of my favorite albums but I can imagine those new to jazz thinking Giant Steps is too intense. Although not as intense as Coltrane's Interstellar Space...

Miles Davis "Jazz at the Plaza" is pretty much the band from Kind of Blue, live. It's a good record.

There's another Miles record that is very meditative, "In a Silent Way" but it's quite different. Electric pianos and organ and John McLaughlin on guitar.

Kind of Blue is sort of an its own level, though.
