I know there are certain songs that seem to bring out your system better than others.

for me:
1. My love is - Diana Krall
2. Girl from Impanema - Getz/Gilberto

It's not "showing off;" it's "demonstrating capabilities!" :-)

There are so many favorites. Here are ten good ones:

1. Jennifer Warnes "The Panther" from "The Well"
2. Dave's True Story "Fever" from debut disc
3. Buddy Holly "True Love Ways" from "Original Master Tapes"
4. Eagles "Hotel California" from "Hell Freezes Over"
5. Diana Krall "Case of You" from "Live In Paris"
6. Miles Davis "My Funny Valentine" from "Cookin'"
7. Keith Jarrett "Koln 1" from "The Koln Concerts"
8. Paul Simon "Diamonds on the Souls of Her Shoes" from "Graceland"
9. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, "A Foggy Day" from "Ella and Louis"
10. Cowboy Junkies "Sweet Jane" from "Trinity Sessions"

Add a little more jazz (some horns, a well recorded piano trio) and some classical (Kronos Quartet recordings are generally well made; some large scale symphonic recordings) and maybe a soundtrack or two (Gladiator, Jurassic Park) and you've put a system through its paces.

Obviously, everyone's list will differ to reflect their own tastes. Enjoy!
