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.

vishna bhatt & jerry douglas "bourbon & rosewater", on water-lily acoustics is an excellent guitar cd. and, for cd, the sound is ackshully quite respectable. ;~) another good stringed-cd is jerry douglas, russ barenburg, edgar meyer on "skip, hop & wobble, on sugarhill.

a cd w/powerful subterranean bass, & w/an eerie electronic/middle-eastern feel is nusrat fateh ali khan & michael brook on "night song", on real world. i also like ry cooder & ali farka toure, for strings & wocals. but, most of the best stuff is on winyl - ie: the buena vista social club is nice on cd, but it's nicer on winyl...

regards, doug
