Your One "Go To" Recording

What is the one recording you reach for when you can't decide what to play? The one CD or album that will satisfy your need for music when you don't have anything in particular in mind?

Mine is Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue".

Any format. Any genre.

But...only one choice!

Jorma Kaukonen, Blue Country Heart. With Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas and Byron House; they really settle into the finest groove this side of any Bluegrass I've heard.

Honorable mention to Alison Krauss & Union Station Live. I'm excited cuz I'll be seein' 'em when they come 'round in March...

Classic Records' 200g reissue of the Mercury "Firebird" with Dorati and the LSO. Gets everything right, enormous dynamic swings, passionate performace, and a great recording. A close second is the Classic Records' 45 rpm reissue of "Kind Of Blue". For choral works/soundstaging I am very fond of Holst's "Savitri" on Argo.

I know, the thread said "one go to..." but I couldn't help myself.
