Songs you use when auditioning gear

I ripped a series of songs to a CD that I use for auditions:

Shirley Horn - The Music That Makes Me Dance
Rebecca Pidgeon - Spanish Harlem
Michael Franks - Dragonfly Summer
Dianne Reeves - Never Too Far
Fourplay - 101 Eastbound
Steely Dan - Jack of Speed
Grace Jones- Don't Cry - It's Only The Rhythm
Larry Carlton & Lee Ritenour - Take That
Herbie Hancock - Butterfly
Lee Ritenour - Boss City
Dave Brubeck - Take Five
Miles Davis - So What
Buddy Guy - Sweet Black Angel (Black Angel Blues)
Cassandra Wilson - A Little Warm Death

They test various musical qualities, impact, sound staging, etc.

@hikerneil Love Over Gold is a fantastic album!

@deecee I haven't gone thru your entire list yet but I did spin up Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock, great recordings!

I agree! Sometimes I just spin up the CD just for the various tunes. They’re all quite listenable (IMHO).

I'm currently testing my new Clayton Shaw Caladans, and these are the first dics I played
