13.Al DiMeola "Kiss My Axe" (One of my favorite recordings, tons of info to hear, very crisp)

I'm sure we all have many more, I'm gonna stop here, all take care, and happy listening.

Wow, I am up to 4 pages in Word and not half way through the list. OK, here are some I have loved (sorry for the repeats)

Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert, Arbor Zena (just awesome, maybe my all time fav...)
Debussey - Trois Nocturnes
Patsy Cline - Greatest Hits
The Band - The Band
Ray Charles - Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music
Van Morrison - Moondance

EVERY TIME I play this at a high end store, I get questions - Tony Levin's From the Caves of the Iron Mountain. It was recorded in the cave of an abandoned iron mine in New York state. On an excellent system, it is simply astonishing. I had the pleasure of hearing it through Audio Research tube monos with Watt/Puppies! STUNNING! VERY deep bass at times, and a HUGE soundstage. Oh yeah, the music is great too! Available from Papabearrecords.com. ENJOY!

many many great items isted here. I add only two:

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!

oh, i forgot this one:

Jeff Buckley - GRACE
