Scored a complete set of Beethoven quartets (Amadeus on DG) on ebay! These are polished, elegant performances.

Clifford Jordan Quartet "Live at Ethell's"
Larry Willis "Sunshower"
Larry Willis/Paul Murphy "The Powers of Two"
Sunnyland Slim "Live in D.C."
Frank Kimbrough Trio "Lonely Women"

All from www.mapleshaderecords.com

I've never ordered from them and haven't received these yet, but I've heard very positive review of their recordings for which they claim:

NO Mixing Board
NO Overdubs
NO Noise Reduction
NO Compression
NO Multitracks
NO EQ
NO Reverb
Nothing BUT the excitement of live music.

I'm a sucker for pure sounding music and love finding good recordings of artists out of the mainstream. And at $9.60/CD if you buy 4 or more it sounds like a great deal.

Recent trips to Borders and to Encore Records (a great used record shop in Ann Arbor) yielded:

Miles Davis - "Kind of Blue" (most recent release)

Wes Montgomery - "A Day in the Life" (very nice guitar, though the 1960's style strings are a bit distressing on some cuts)

Diana Krall - "All for You" (one of the best recorded CD's I have heard, at least certainly the vocal portions)

Weather Report - "Best of..." (I can't help it, I'm shallow. I keep just relistening to "Birdland" and haven't yet explored the rest of the CD.)

Cowboy Junkies - "Trinity Session" (I think there is a unmistakable mismatch of talent between the singer - Margot Timmons -and the spotty backup she gets from the rest of the band, but some cuts like "Blue Moon Revisited" are awesome)

I am really not that into jazz historically, but I just recently upgraded my audio system (from 1980's Japanese low-fi to at least fairly respectable mid-fi electronics and some very nice speakers) and am looking for better sounding recordings than is typical of my older CD's. Diana Krall is amazing to anyone who hasn't heard her yet. Margot Timmons is even better (hauntingly so) on the right songs.
