new cary v12 needs new music


i am going to purchase some new music later today so that i can kick back and really appreciatemy newest addition to my system
the cary v12 has been a complete pleasure to listen to thus far, very smooth, utterly engaging and musical, no fatigue whatsoever
the rogue 88 amp the cary replaced was a very nice amp i thoroughly enjoyed owning and listening to, but the cary is a far more refined creature altogether

anyway, i would like to solicit some cd recommendations from the audiogon family.
i enjoy rock, pop, and especially good acoustic ensembles and jazz.
recently i listened to a cyrus chestnut cd and was very taken with the sound
i am also considering adding something from hot tuna or jorma kaukonen to my collection today
i think this may give you an impression of what i have in mind and what i like
widespread panic, gov't mule and dave matthews are also on a short list of mine for todays purchase
i listen to just about everything, so any recommendation is cool

ok, i'll let audiogon speak and i will listen
thanks in advance

How about Kevin Mahogany's "Seft Portrait"? Cyrus Chestnut was featured in one of the tracks. This is a must own jazz vocal CD in my opinion. Happy listening!
thanks so far
jond, i really enjoyed the dave alvin and the guilty men
any more suggestions???
88 Basies Street on the JVC label was mentioned in a TAS reveiw and I ran across it on vinyl, if the CD sounds nearly as good it is wonderful. A couple of other CDs I picked up from TAS reveiws that have a high "fun factor" are "Mardi Gras Mambo" by Cubanismo and "Hotel Child" by Ingrid Lucia and the Flying Neutrinos. Just a change of gears, great sound on both. I like the new Santana better than the last one and it sounds less compressed (to me).
Yes, another great review that led me to a great disc was in Hifi+. The CD is Derrin Nauendorf "Live at the Boardwalk" a live acoustic set with Derrin playing guitar and singing accompanied by a percussionist. Awesome! There is a nine minute Vodoo Child that's amazing and the rest of the tracks are originals. To order the website is www.derrinnauendorf.com. I was the first person in the states to get this CD and I've only had it for three days. Well worth the effort.
i wil definitely look for the Derrin Nauendorf...
more recomendations needed please...i really enjoy buying new software this time of year as the holidays approach
