The first track that comes to mind is Take it from the Top by the Planet Smashers. A Canadian ska-pop band that I love. Great bass and horns. Whoo-hoo!
Other, more erudite items would be September Second, by the Micheal Petruciani Trio, off Trio in Tokyo (live). Wonderful, expressive, joyful playing from MP, Steve Gadd on drums and Anthony Jackson on bass.
Finally, a long-time favourite; Serenade for Strings, in E, Op22, by Antonin Dvorak (punctuation missing). Romantic and evocative, medium string ensemble music. Like classical ballet in audible form. Once I start listening to this, I feel that I am interrupting the musicians if I stop before it is over.
