Jacintha "Autumn Leaves" on XRCD2 is incredible

It's also fantastic (and believe it or not, cheaper) on SACD.

Garfish, you might also check out the following XRCD's from FIM:

Flamenco Passions (flamenco guitar and nice cello)
Over the Rainbow (a sax that'll make you jump)

I think XRCD may be better than SACD but it's close.

Get the XRCD2 sampler and you'll be very pleased.

Agree Garfish, a great disk. And thanks Stehno for the recomendations. Hadn't thought of picking up "Flamenco Passions" because it's not the type of music I generally listen to, but now I will. Much as I like XRCDs, couldn't bring myself to trying Chinese instrumentals!

I can recommend "Antiphone Blues". Long enjoyed Arne Domnereus, although sax and organ played in a church may not be everyone's thing. Others?

This is turning into a "Best" or "Favorite" XRCD thead, which is a good thing. Tried finding one searching the threads but didn't find one. They're a big help on small labels or other types of limited catalogue items.

I'm listening to the CD layer. Incredible. She has an orchestra this time. Also, try Carol Kidd's Gold on Linn (see my thread on best vocal in a movie) and Eileen Farrell on Reference Recording. All great stuff. As for XRCD2: Bill Evans with Tony Bennett is remarkable as is Tiger Okoshi's Color of Soil (a step up from Two Sides to Every Story if you can believe it). And I cannot leave out Three Blind Mice (anything) but esp. FIM's newest Autumn in Seattle by fave pianist Tsuyoshi Yamamoto (ALL his CDs are great on TBM XRCD as are Isao Suzuki's). I'm a big Elusive Disc fan; they opened my horizons to Three Blind Mice among other artists.
