Reference Vocal/Piano/Sax/Guitar CD s

I am looking for a few reference CD's to demo or to use as references when I try out new system, speaker, or cable. I need good recording with clean sound, wide and deep soundstage and full range (bass, mid, high) if possible. Please provide CD's recommendation for each type: Vocal, Piano, Sax, and Guitar. So far, I only know and like Diana Krall, Patrica Barber, Sarah Brighman, Dead can Dance, Three Blind Mise, Lorena McKenitt. I don't really have any great piano or sax cd's to provide as examples. For guitar, I have Sarah & Strunt (America) (not sure on spelling???) and Gavi. Any new recommendation are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

solo piano .. John Lewis "evolution" The pianist reworks materpieces such as "Afternoon in Paris" and "Django" and the recording is the best of a solo piano that I've heard.
For Saxophone I would recommend "Oscar Peterson meet Ben Webster" for Ben's huge warm tenor sound. "Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Jazz Leaders" and Sonny Rollins "Way Out West" HAnk Mobley "Soul Station" for Vocals Shirley Horn's "You Won't Forget Me" Recorded by David Baker and featuring a stunning and rare guest spot by Miles Davis.
