One should hear a very deep soundstage on the Buena Vista Social Club album.

 

My all-time favourite jazz album.  Have it in CD and LP formats.

Hey, Mackie I've been looking for this album for the last 14 years, ever since I accidentally sold them away during a garage sale. Since it is out of print, possible to get a dupe from you, pleaseeee!

Let me get this right. The John Coltrane - Ballads is still available under Verve recording; on CD and SACD format. They are available at Gramophone outlets.

 

I will check the Raffles Place outlet to confirm.

 

The cd copy I have is a 20-bit recording.

To "Gramaphone" very soon. BTW, the "Ballads" CD I had was pressed in the 80's & had a bluish tint, IMHO the best ballads from Coltrane. Similar experiences also from Ben Webster, Miles Davis & Chet Baker. biggrin.gif

One of my all time favorite LP is Fairytales by the late Norwegian singer Radka Toneff.

 

The recording is oustanding among vocal/piano duet albums. Unfortunately, this was to be Radka Toneffs last studio recording in 1982. IMHO the "Fairytales" album is a special album in all senses.

 

A must have/desert island discs for all who love jazz vocals.

Anyone heard of this album The String Quartet's Tribute to Linkin Park ? Its a very interesting album, hear Linkin Park as you would have thought of hearing them before wacko.gifwacko.gif Imagine hearing cellos, and violins playing songs like "In the end, Crawling etc". Its a very nice twist, and I kinda actually prefer them to the original tongue.gif

 

They also have other albums like String Quartet's Tribute to Coldplay and Radiohead. Just my 2 pence worth of post.

This one has a cover of Paranoid Andriod

 

BTW, the Brad Mehldau albums are brilliant for if you like 3 piece jazz combos.

Most of the songs he writes are originals, with a couple of very nice covers.

Basic Piano, Bass and drums. VERY good recording.

 

Chris

You guys just HAVE to get dishwalla's opaline cd!!! They are selling it at hmv for $40 but it's totally worth it. Hell, even for it's price it's a hot seller. All 99 people who reviewed the cd at amazon gave it excellect scores and good feedback, you don't have to take my word for it, you can go check it out and you'll find it's very true. I love every track in the cd, plus it's in HDCD format and it's US pressed so it sounds great!!!

 

Also another cd which I found sounding really good and had nice songs is disney's refresh album. I was impressed by the recording, maybe you've guys heard much much better cds, but to me, I found it great. party.gif
