What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard?

@heretobuy . I grew up with Fats Waller's grandson, his great grandson is actually an NBA player.. I grew up in a famous area in NY where there were tons of musicians  and artist; James Brown, Fats Waller, Count Basie, Leana Horn, heck even Al Roker, LL Cool J, many others. When we were little and didn't have a neighborhood pool, Count Basie would open is pool to the kids in the neighborhood. Can you guess the area in NY? :)

@gumbedamit Without Googling, Queens? I know Louis Armstrong lived there.

With 11,000 CDs and a very diverse music library/music genre that is too difficult to choose.  I have many more great sounding (mostly uncompressed) CDs versus my 28,500 LPs to choose from (LPs can suffer from compression, vinyl problems, subgenerational mastering e.g. Angel classical records versus EMI originals, U.S.Beatles versus Parlophone, etc).  

A second + for Jazz at the Pawnshop.  A new 2021 2-disk CD version from

AudioNautes is Ultimate HQ/Direct from original tapes/blah/blah and

is even more stunning.  Amazing that this is a live recording from the '70s.

Gumbedamit Saint Albans. I live in the neighborhood.
