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

I also have the XRCD2 version of Autumn Leaves, and do find the instrements and recording to be of first rate. I did however find that Jacintha's voice a little muffled, I think the recording eng used to thick of a filter on her track ..its just not in line with the rest of the Album ..my opinion !
