Well my SACD player made it in today and it can play sacd's, can anyone recommend some real nice jazz cd's that will help me to see what all the hype is about? I play sax So sax is always great to hear

, I like r&b, alternative, blues, as well, but just want to try one out for now and see how I like it.

try the usual suspect, Miles Davis: Kind of Blue. I read that the SACD version is pretty good.

Straight No Chaser [SACD]

Kind Of Blue [SACD]

Mingus Ah Um [SACD] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]

Yes, at fifteen dollars start with some classics, but you may want something that was originally recorded in a digital format.

edit: oops, forgot Sketches Of Spain [SACD] . I'm dying to hear this one.

Try some Patricia Barber, like her Companion, Nightclub, or Verse SACD.

I was listening to SuperBass 2 on SACD last night and was enjoying it a lot!

I'm a big fan of most of those mentioned already. I'd also suggest Time Out by Dave Brubeck.

Thanks for the recommendations. I was hoping to pick up Miles locally, but that's a no go. Any of the regular retail stores carry a wider variety of sacd (Best Buy, Circuit city, Borders, Barnes and Nobles)that you uys know of?

I've had a hard time buying SACDs at stores domestically, but some Tower Records have small collections. It is much easier dealing with an online retailer such as Acoustic Sounds.

Surprised no one's mentioned it yet - if you like sax, you gotta have Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" on SACD

 

[Rendition]

Any good SACD jazz that's recorded digitally? I want something with no analog hiss.

I get most of my SACDs and DVDs from Best Buy. However, their selection is not the greatest. If I want something unusual, I generally need to order it online from Amazon.com (don't forget the link!!) or Tower Records.
