In the jazz, slow jazz vein, if you have the ability to play SACDs and DVD-As, I recommend any Diana Krall SACD, but When I Look In Your Eyes is my absolute favorite.

If you like acoustic guitar, Laurence Juber's Guitar Noir DVD-A is well worth the expensive price. He was lead guitarist with Paul McCartney's Wings. If you have Windows Media Player on your computer, click on this link and you'll hear a sample of one of the better cuts on the DVD-A. (if this doesn't work, click on "Mosiac" in the song list at the web page.)

If you don't have a Hi Rez player, any Diana Krall CD will be well mixed and mastered, and will sound good on any system. Live in Paris, the aforementioned When I Look In Your Eyes, and The Girl In The Other Room all sound excellent.

You can get her Live In Paris concert on DVD with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. I love it.

Any of these will show off your system well, but the Hi Rez stuff REALLY shines.
