If you can find it, buy it. It's out of press so you have
to find in stock or call the Audio Advisor to see if they have any.

The music is great, the quality is incredible, I bought Phill Woods
1st Chesky CD just out of curiosity and try to order the Sampler Vol 1,
and the response from chesky was that their out of press. I found 
my copy by accident at Camelot Music (Chain store).

I recomend any of David Chesky's own CD's and Ana Caram's CD's.
I listen to them in the sampler and once auditioning speakers.

The test are as mentioned above, they are different than the
Audiophile Test CD.  Chesky's is simpler while The AP is 
more complete and sophisticated.
