IMO Chris Thile's latest CD "All Who Wander Are Not Lost" has sensational sound, and man can that kid pick a mandolin. He plays on the CD with Bela Fleck, Stuart Duncan, & Jerry Douglas, among others. If Jazzgrass is your thing, this is an excellent recording. In the same genre, Bela Fleck has a CD called "Tales From An Acoustic Planet". He actually has two of these, and the first one is really good.
Best acoustic -natural instruments CD's
Greetings. Just rifling through my CD's after obtaining new set of cables (MIT 770 CVT's) and wonder what are some of the absolute best acoustic/jazz recordings out there? My tastes range from Dead Can Dance to Holly Cole, Monk to Miles, K D lang to Tori Amos. I am looking for excellent discs that feature natural instruments (or a tasteful blend of both ala Dead Can Dance), and minimalist recording techniques. My tastes are very open but I am finding a need for new music. Any suggestions? P.S if you think most Diana Krall albums are well recorded, you may not want to give your input.... I think they suck. Thanks much. If you want to hear a INCREDIBLE RECORDING, check out Mary Stallings "Fine and Mellow" Canadian import on the Clarity label....unbelievable.
