HDCD music suggestions???

Hi all. I still have my Arcam Alpha 8SE CD/HDCD player; just can't seem to part with it. Use my Cambridge Azur for the newer 24-bit discs, but still really enjoy the HDCD format. I have the Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen HDCD boxsets, and a few Mark Knopfler discs, and a smattering of others, but I'd like to pick up more. I like Jazz, and I have Patricia Barber's Cafe Blue HDCD, but she's a bit dark for my tastes. Any suggestions for high quality HDCD recordings?? Upbeat Jazz, anything with nice quitar or drum tracks; all suggestions welcome. Many thanks!!

Bunch of Joni Mitchell's recordings were re-released as HDCD -are clearly marked as HDCD.So are a pile of Greatful Dead recordings. Seem to remember Red `House and Rhino had quit a few.Years ago someone published a list of HDCD encoded CD's - there was a bunch of Jazz on that list -might of been on HeadFi.org?
HDCD's are most of the really knock out CD's I own - really sorry this system didn't catch on.
This is one of the reasons I still own a EAD DSP-9000/III.

Neil Young also has a bunch on HDCD if you are into his music. If you search "cd universe HDCD" you will get a ton of titles to consider.
