D Dead Wax Dave Audioholic Intern Nov 3, 2019 30 0 6 49 Nov 25, 2019 #5 Thank you for the recommendations everyone. I’ve slowed down on listening to old favorites that have poor sound quality and have been favoring some off the wall stuff that has superb sounds. Here’s a couple favorites if anyone cares to give a listen. Carina Round is a phenomenal vocalist!

But remember great recordings don't always equal great music. For example I much prefer the Dave Brubeck version of Take 5 to the Jazz at the Pawnshops.
