Your Recommendations Please

Hi,
I am looking for:
1) CDs that are funky jazz or swing that are performed at a fast pace with a lot of improv.
2) High quality productions (CDs) to show off my system.
Thanks

A well-done mastering of this classic LP. I recently purchased one on sale at www.redtrumpet.com. cheers!

I agree with a Yellowjackets selection but would recommend Live Wires. Also Al Jarreau Tenderness has several different goups of musicians and recording techniques. I also like to put on Eva Cassidy Live At The Blues Alley. Simple songs, simple arangements, simple instrumentation, but what sound.
