Need demo CD's for RMAF

I need some help. I want tot play some demo CD/SACD/s at the RMAF. Looking for some really cool jazz CD's and some Latin Jazz Percussion. The bar is pretty high because our room has been really highly praised in the past.
My shopping cart on Amazon includes Trombone Shorty's Backatown. Stefon Harris Grand Unification Theory ( the first cd from Stefon but he plays the Vibes. Not sure if this is his best CD so you help here would be appreciated ) and Camino Latino (Latin Journey) et al Paco Luviano.
I am really open but the CD's must have huge sound stage both side ways and front to back plus good music would help. Our room has been praised for its pure sound so we would like to play CD's that have that purity.

Thanks for your help
Jim

Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band: "Swingin' for the Fences" (modern big band. huge sound. incredibly well recorded.)

Something a little out of the box...
The Bad Plus: "Give" (acoustic piano, bass and drums. excellent recording. deep, deep string bass and bass drum sound.)

Thanks.

Last year at the show a couple guys from NY came in and stayed for quite a while. They gave me four of the NY Audio Rave CD's Very cool. The 2007 CD had "Sing Sang Sung" by Gordon Goodwin. Really cool. I will put "Singin for the Fences" in my cart.

I tried to reply to your email with the Doc Severensen CD. My email got bounce back so just want to thank you for the recommendation. I put Doc in my cart.

This is going to be an expensive cart. Oh well.

Thanks again

Perhaps you already know this, but just in case you don't..."Sing, Sang, Sung" is the opening track on "Swingin' for the Fences". That particular song is a tour de force, but is a little worn as a demo piece, IMO. The rest of the CD is equally good and worthy of purchase.
