Eagles - Hell Freezes Over
Cassandra Wilson - New Moon Daughter
Suzanne Vega - Particularly Tom's Diner
Zakir Hussain, John McLaughlin, Jan Garberak - Making Music
Strunz and Farah - Primal Magic

I'm the bass player on the Patricia Barber cd's, and while I LOVE the instrumental timbres, I'm not nuts about the sondstaging

Mikejazz,

I forgot to include the CD Companion in my list, I think it is an excellent example. From the CD I gather it was a very intimate sourrounding and there could be no more than 50 folks around during the session. Is it right?
