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

The 2007 CD had "Sing Sang Sung" by Gordon Goodwin. Really cool. I will put "Singin for the Fences" in my cart.

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.

Thanks for all the response. I need to a lot of listening to the samples on amazon. Can't wait to get a bunch of new CD's. Does anyone have a Stefon Harris CD they can recommend. I heard a cut on the radio and couldn't find the track or CD. The cut was just killer. Great vibes.

I didn't know that song was on the CD you recommended. I love that song.

Thanks again and don't stop with the recommendation.
