The best recording that I own is Dean Peer's "Ucross." I first heard this recording playing through a pair of Martin Logans in a high end audio store, and it turned out that they liked that CD so much that they arranged with the artist to sell it out of their store. I bought the last one they had in stock. Dean is a solo bassist, but before you say, "Run for the hills, a full-length bass solo album!", you should know that Dean uses a high degree of dynamics and harmonics, and an unusal array of basses and strings. The result does not sound like any "bass solo" you have ever heard. He is a true song-writer, and each song has independant rhythm, melody and harmony. I don't know how he does it, but the end result is impressive. Whenever I audition new audiophile equipment, I take this CD with me, and the sales staff is always impressed with its imaging, harmonics, and dynamics. Truly a great recording if you can get your hands on it.
