The more I listen to the M22's the more I love them as well. Nothing makes them sing better than some of the selections on this thread. For a guy just getting into Jazz you guys have all been more than helpful. Keep'em coming. The library is growing and the speakers are making beautiful music.

Anything recorded by Rudy Van Gelder is about as well recorded as jazz gets. He had a very purist approach to audio.
I just picked up Coltrane's "Traneing in" CD Yesterday. It's a Rudy Van Gelder recording. If you're a fan of Jazz I highly recommend it.

Oscar Peterson Trio "We Get Requests" is one of my favs.

Came across this interesting video of Emerson, Peterson and Palmer.

Cool find Adrian. I like the contrast in body language between the two pianists. Oscar looks so relaxed, like he is hardly working at all. It comes across in his playing, even in cmplicated passages. Hes got a smootheness like nobody else.

I don't think too many people realize how talented Keith Emerson is either. I've always thought I could hear a lot of Jazz influence in ELP's music.
I love it when you get musicians from different genres who get together and just enjoy each others musical talent. I'm still debating on what Oscar Peterson CD to start off with, he's got a lot of nice music out there.

Thats what I like about certain prog rock groups. They are willing to look beyond a particular style.
Kieth Emerson is classically trained. Several of the pieces on ELP's debut album are classical, though the interpretation disguises that somewhat.
Yes and Gentle Giant are two other groups like this.

One that I purchased used, didn't like at first but is now a very often listened to cd is....
The Magic Hour by Winton Marselis.
Some really good songs and awesome recording. Great fun for stereo guys, especially 2 channel guys who like a 3d soundstage.
