Best upbeat jazz/progressive jazz/new age CD?


Discovered a great CD called LIME PIE from someone on this site several months back. Took it to Rockymtn Audiofest and whatever room it was played in, the other listeners came up to me after for the title. Republicizing it here for those interested (faves are tracks 1,2,7, but all are good)

My system is finally mostly together and I am looking for more GREAT MUSIC to really show it off - the type of music where you can't get the tunes out of your head, nor your toes to stop tapping. Have plenty of "slow stuff" - looking for music that "cooks" and is VERY well recorded.

Thanks

Passion Grace& Fire is an absolute acoustic guitar masterpiece. Digital recording but sounds quite good. I have it on Japanese pro vinyl, that's the best you can get it.
Inner Mounting Flame is to me the very best jazz/rock fusion album there is. Again, sounds best on Japanese record.
Visions Of The Emerald Beyond by John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra is great too.
Cielo e Terra by Al di Meola is a unique acoustic guitar album - mesmerizing enigmatic mindscapes. Sounds good even on cd, record is much better of course. Analog recording and mastering.
