I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

Dave Brubeck - La Paloma Azul
Dave on piano, Paul Desmond on alto sax. Recorded live in Mexico, 1967. I can listen to this song and Desmond's sax forever. If I were to pick a song for my funeral, this would be it.

LOVE THIS THREAD!
That first song is an absolute must have classic. -
oh my word..... Where can I get more of this. I'm not a huge fan of smooth jazz (absolutely love jazz), but this just feels right with that upright bass. -

Miles Davis Quintet. John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. Absolutely phenominal album. I highly recommend the Japanese SHM-SACD.

Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

Many moons ago, there was a late night jazz radio show called Midnight at the Oasis, IIRC, and this was the show's background music.
