Jj 35 if you can stream Don Bennet Sleeping Giant let me know, very dynamic cd , it has all the audiophile quality, it has been my reference cd to test my system for transient and musicality, Because if my system can play this cd right ? It means it can play any music I play including classical,This is the cd I played on Teajay system when we visited Him to listen to PS 12 Tekton. This cd right away I knew Teajay system was musically good and of course I end up buying ps 12.

Jj35 I also have the opportunity to hear those two pair of pioneer sub on Teajay system . I end up buying them too.Teajay was able to integrate them on his system beautifully as well.

Philosophy of the spiritual by Richard Davis. LP out of print but on Discogs sometimes.

Hands down, Nat Adderley’s, The Old Country. Featuring a young Vincent Herring on alto. Released on an obscure label in Japan only. The quintet is really really good, and the entire album is a masterpiece.

It’s been my go to recording for 35 years simply because the album was recorded so well and the music selections are so good.

I of course loaded the entire album on the tube.

Another is pianist Jessica Williams, Joy. Featuring the great Jay Thomas who doubles on Sax and Flugehorn It’s a live album with excellent acoustics Here’s Compassion from that album.

And a personal favorite, Jeannine from Adderley’s Old Country.

And, the great Bobby Shew’s, Breakfast Wine, never released to CD or digital, until I uploaded the album on the tube  :)
