Your Go to CD to Impress

*Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Rain Coat
*Dianne Krall - Love Scenes
*The Harry James Sessions
*Lyle Lovett - I Love Everybody 
*Larry McNeeley - Confederation
*Fleetwood Mac - Dreams
*Mozart Variations (Windam Hill)
*Stevie Ray Vaughn - Tin Pan Alley

If you know the person well, if not ask what styles/artists they like. Then find something suitable. You won't impress very well if they don't like what you played.

King Crimson Discipline DVD-Audio 5.1...

CD: All Jamaican All Star Jazz Band, especially the covers of  (this is not a joke.) "My Boy Lollopop" and "Walk On By"; alternately for real jazz buffs, Maynard Ferguson and Diane Shur "Live From Montreaux".                                   LP: Rosie O'Grady's Good Time Jazz Band on Direct Disc. The tuba solo on "When You're Smiling" is to die for. The triangle, followed by a full dixieland band on "Japanese Sandman" places the instruments in you face, well actually , ears.                                               Once they are awed, we get back to what they want to hear.
