Jacintha "Autumn Leaves" on XRCD2 is incredible

Awhile ago, Rivercitylad, an A'Gon member, turned me on to Jacintha's music. Her "Autumn Leaves", sub-titled "The Music of Johnny Mercer" is on XRCD2 and is seductively beautiful. This is the best CD I've ever heard on my stereo system.

I got this disc from Music Direct for $30.-- expensive but worth it. This is definitely a new standard for female vocals for me. The music is essentially smooth jazz, and has jazz ballads like Shirley Horn or Diana Krall might sing. If you like female vocals this XRCD2 is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Comments and observations are welcome. Cheers. Craig

Agree Garfish, a great disk. And thanks Stehno for the recomendations. Hadn't thought of picking up "Flamenco Passions" because it's not the type of music I generally listen to, but now I will. Much as I like XRCDs, couldn't bring myself to trying Chinese instrumentals!

I can recommend "Antiphone Blues". Long enjoyed Arne Domnereus, although sax and organ played in a church may not be everyone's thing. Others?

This is turning into a "Best" or "Favorite" XRCD thead, which is a good thing. Tried finding one searching the threads but didn't find one. They're a big help on small labels or other types of limited catalogue items.
