Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list

I've been listening to some of my favorite recordings this weekend and was wondering what others on Audiogon felt were there favorites. We have all seen the Stereophile "Records to Die For", The Absolute Sounds recommended list, Music Directs' list, The Golden Ear, etc. now I'm hoping to assemble the Audiogon "Recordings To Die For". Please list your five favorite recordings, the ones you listen to over and over or play for friends. I would assume the sonic quality is excellent in that this is an audiophile site. The performance and enjoy ability should also be excellent. Please leave your top five, even if they are already chosen so we can discover the very top for the Audiogon listeners. ALSO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CRITICIZING OTHERS OPINIONS AND JUST LEAVE YOUR FAVORITES!

August 2002: I have compiled a summary and a full printer-friendly list of all of the recommendations below.

1. Bill Evans Trio - Sunday at the Village Vanguard (JVC XRCD version)

2. Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington - The Great Summitt: The master takes (remastered cd version)

whether you like jazz or not, these are ABSOLUTELY must owns.

BTW, Uncle Meat, I just ordered the Levin CD, thanks for the tip, and it suprises me you didn't list any ZAPPA!
