Last time I suggested this (and it WILL be the last time), I got "Let's hear the Rachmaninoff 2nd piano concerto." That REALLY slowed things down :-)

Along Map's line: The Theme From Shaft. Not audiophile and panpotted to within an inch of its life, but a pretty "showy" recording that usually gets the desired response. At the other end of the scale, the earlier recommendation of St. James Infirmary is great, as are the Duke Ellington Small Band recordings on Pablo. Choose any cut from Intimacy of The Blues or The Queen's Suite. Marty |
The Theme From Shaft. Glad to see you mention the theme to the "Shaft" movie soundtrack. It is arguably some of the best music ever recorded for a soundtrack. (timeless) I recommend it highly to those of you who are not familar with it. |
"The Theme From Shaft." That is good! It is on this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000KP62UM/3dgazo391-20 Lots of classics to recommend on this recent and nicely mastered release! Not just "Theme From Shaft" but "Son Of Shaft" to boot! |
