You can only compare so much from your live sound to their recorded (closely miked) sounds, not to mention that you have to account for their years of work and artistic growth. And we can only tell so much from your description, and you will only learn so much from a shotgun scatter of opinions.
1. Find a good teacher whose sound you really like. Do your best to find the right teacher, who may not be the cheapest or most conveniently located. Not every teacher who hangs out a shingle can play, and sometimes great players don't make good teachers. I haven't looked at a map, but don't rule out traveling an hour or two if necessary.
2. Follow his/her advice, of course, but beyond that, get him/her to play as much as possible in lessons, and go to every performance you can. Play duets. Get that sound in your ear, and while you are practicing, ask yourself, "How must it feel to sound like that?" If you have an ear, trust your body and give it a high quality image, you will find a way.
3. Be patient, and do your work. Nobody is born playing like Sabine Meyer or Eddie Daniels, it will take time.
You can do the same thing with a recorded sound, and there's nothing wrong with that, but live feedback is a quicker path, especially playing duets.
