Recommended acoustic recordings


My system is modest but excels with voices, solo instruments, and small ensembles. With that in mind, what Jazz, folk, or classical SACD/high-resolution discs would you recommend as among your favorites?

Hi Fromunda. I'm a big ECM fan from way back. I once saw CL in Big Sur. I like his Voice in the Night CD. IMO Manfred Eicher is a visionary and ECM's repertoire of artists cover the range of meditative, melancholic, reflective, and life-affirming emotions about as well as any genre outside of classical music/voice. There are very active ECM forums, but I'm guessing you know that already.
Hi Lokie. Not much for pop/rock music at all but do like some of the black blues. Agree, Alone & Acoustic is a good choice. When I was a youngster I had JW's It's My Life Baby LP and played it often to the dislike of my parents/neighbors. I enjoy intimate live club recordings with the sound of cash registers, doors closing and glasses tinkling in the background be they Bill Evans at the Vanguard or JW's at Pepper's Lounge. Love chamber music in intimate spaces, but of course outside of the occasional coughing, no disturbances permitted. I suppose you've heard JW's Hoodoo Man Blues re-release by Analogue Productions? It was good before, now it's great.
