Mapleshade CD Favorites


Mapleshade is a small recording house with a reputation for great sounding CDs for either live or studio recordings. Since I've had their catalog sitting around for more time than I want to acknowledge; and if you buy 4 or more CDs, you get them for less than $10 each; I thought I would ask a simple question.

What's your favorite Mapleshade recording(s)? Which ones knocked your shoes off, revealed your system, or just made you happy? My musical preferences are jazz, and blues, but am willing to try good CDs in other venues.

I have seen some recommendations in other threads for:
Mojo - Big Joe Mahler Sextet
Live At Ethell's - Clifford Jordan Quartet
Big, Sweet and Blue - Norris Turney Quartet
Feel free to add more or elaborate on these.

I was surprised at the feedback I received so I created an auction for my Mapleshade collection of 11 mint condition cd's.

rrick, I purchased about 12 mapleshade cd's all at once about 9 months ago. They seem to be very well recorded but I just can't digest that type of music.

I should put them up for sale.

Do you think anybody would be interested in purchasing my absolutely mint collection of 10 or 12 Mapleshade recordings?
