Best acoustic -natural instruments CD's


Greetings. Just rifling through my CD's after obtaining new set of cables (MIT 770 CVT's) and wonder what are some of the absolute best acoustic/jazz recordings out there? My tastes range from Dead Can Dance to Holly Cole, Monk to Miles, K D lang to Tori Amos. I am looking for excellent discs that feature natural instruments (or a tasteful blend of both ala Dead Can Dance), and minimalist recording techniques. My tastes are very open but I am finding a need for new music. Any suggestions? P.S if you think most Diana Krall albums are well recorded, you may not want to give your input.... I think they suck. Thanks much. If you want to hear a INCREDIBLE RECORDING, check out Mary Stallings "Fine and Mellow" Canadian import on the Clarity label....unbelievable.

Three esoteric albums, digitally recorded,but the quality is quite good:Rasa-Devotion-;Sussan Deyhim-Madman Of God-;Vas-In The Garden Of Souls-.I like them all a lot.
Forgot to mention another great acoustic album,again digitally recorded: Al Di Meola-Heart Of The Immigrants-.Excellent quality and an unusual very special music.I saw two Dead Can Dance albums on amazon.co.uk;there are also a few now on ebay,but you never know what you will get there.
1741,

I believe Holly Cole just released a new CD last Tuesday, June 10th. You listen to 30 second slices of all the tracks on her website, www.hollycole.com Some of them sound really good.

Enjoy,
