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?

Po'Girl, "Home to You"

Crooked Still, "Shaken By a Low Sound"

Clarke, Van Zandt and others, "Heartworn Highways"

Cowboy Junkies, "Acoustic Junk"

For the first two, recordings better than adequate, for the second two, recordings very nice. All performances memorable.

The new Shelby Lynne CD "Tears, Lies, and Alibis" is accoustic... and it's her best yet.
I'll second the Charles Lloyd recommendation of Fromunda's, and add another of his albums, "The Call," which features Bobo Stenson on piano, Anders Jormin on double-bass, Billy Hart on drums, and Charles Lloyd on tenor sax. Spectacular in every way.

In a slightly different vein, "Ojos Negros" (also on ECM) with Dino Saluzzi and Anja Lechner. I'm not much of a fan of the mish-mash that goes by the name of "world music," and this ISN'T world music, even though it combines the bandoleon and the cello. Give the tracks a listen on Amazon, and you'll see what I mean. Touching throughout.
