If you wanted to impress someone, which track?

"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!

I was playing Stan Getz "The Girl From Ipanema" and my 14 year old son got off his Xbox and walked in the room to see what was playing. That doesn't happen very often! It did sound VERY good!

Good one Mapman. When I sold some speakers a while back that's the song the buyer asked to play to make sure he wanted them.

Then again Mapman it could have been that cool bossa nova/samba rhythm that drew him in. I believe I was about 14 or 15 when I first heard that song and it blew me away, maybe Astrud Gilberto's voice or a longing for far away exotic places, who knows? It is however a great recording.
