Mapleshade CD Favorites

Mapleshade is a small recording house with a reputation for great sounding CDs for either live or studio recordings. Since I've had their catalog sitting around for more time than I want to acknowledge; and if you buy 4 or more CDs, you get them for less than $10 each; I thought I would ask a simple question.

What's your favorite Mapleshade recording(s)? Which ones knocked your shoes off, revealed your system, or just made you happy? My musical preferences are jazz, and blues, but am willing to try good CDs in other venues.

I have seen some recommendations in other threads for:
Mojo - Big Joe Mahler Sextet
Live At Ethell's - Clifford Jordan Quartet
Big, Sweet and Blue - Norris Turney Quartet
Feel free to add more or elaborate on these.

A few of my favs:
The Sampler Disc is good.
A La Carte Brass...second cd
Clifford Jordon, "When Alto Was King"

I have to agree that some of the performances seem week. I have found the more I listen to them the more I grew with them and really enjoy listening to them.
