Disc 2 - The version of "Autumn Leaves" may be the best I have ever heard. And "Caravan", not a tune I care for all that much, is almost as good.

Whenever there are major changes in my system (now it's the inclusion of a ZROCK2 and the new firmware for the DSD) I end up listening closely to this recording. . . I know it so well that it reveals "the state of the art" of my system clearly. And it's such amazing music.
