Re: Top 5 - Must Sound Good Audition CDs

207.44.219.220

Here are five CD's that I use to audition equipment:

1) Benny Carter: A Gentleman and His Music : on Concord Excellent small ensemble of acoustical instruments. A jazz great plays some of his heartfelt favorites. Well recorded and well played.

2) Yo-Yo Ma: Japanese Melodies : on Columbia Exotic sounds mixing the acoustical instrumensts from two diverse musical traditions. Surprisingly well recorded.

3) Ben Andrews: Preachin' the Blues : on Mapleshade Very warm and intimate recording of songs from some of the great Blues artists.
This is a good one!

4) Diana Krall: All For You: on MCA Very well recorded, played, and sung. A tribute to Nat King Cole - hard to beat the music. Piano is superb.

5) Madeline Peyroux: Dreamland: on Atlantic Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and Patsy Cline all roled up into one. Great fun and lively vocal interpretations on blues/country/jazz set. Good recording.
