“Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child”
Artist – Ahmad Jamal
Release – Marseille
Genre – Jazz
This tune is a wonderful combination of jazz piano, standup bass, and light drums which result in a solid soundstage, bandwidth, and style coming through your speakers. Listen for consistency and evenness as Ahmad Jamal works all 88 keys on his keyboard, and absolutely crushes this melody. While the percussion instruments add openness and realism to the soundstage, the articulation and detail in the standup bass is equally as impressive.
“Oh”
Artist – Dave Matthews,
Release – Some Devil
Genre – Rock
Dave Matthews Band has never been better recorded than on this “Some Devil” release. This mellow tune is full of detail and definition, but the bass delivers a full and balanced tone making it an unforgettable listen.
“No Hesitation”
Artist – Marian Hill
Release – Unusual
Genre – Electronic
This fun electronic dance tune really puts your speakers to the test. Marian Hill’s seductive voice and the unique use of electronic beats makes for a very refreshing combination. We recommend you try any of the cuts on the Unusual album, but beware…several of the songs will challenge even the best audio systems.
