Talking Recommended Music DVD's for cinema systems

Finally took delivery of my new KEF 5.1 system at the weekend, now after some music DVD's that can really put the kit through it's paces...

I'm ideally after big-band jazz style 5.1 DVD's but have-nee got a clue what to look for artist-wise.

Can anyone recommend anything, was thinking some of the Jools Holland ones would be good.

the jazz thing, I'm not too sure about, but I can totally recommend Dave Gilmour live at the Albert Hall....

ooooooh yeeeaaahh, very very good indeed for the sound (the music too, naturally)

plus the sound track on the Jet Li film Romeo Must Die kicks hard and has some very good detail elements to it.... but then, if you want gr8 sound <dons flame suit> go for vinyl.....

For decent demo of what a proper surround audio set-up can do, you can't go wrong with J-M Jarre's "Aero". Admittedly, the visuals on this are a tad dull, and it helps if you like his style of music (which I know isn't big/band Jazz ).

The Corrs live at the Albert Hall is pretty cool, even if you're not a massive Corrs fan. Properly recorded in 5.1 it sounds awesome.

Porcupine Tree's In Absentia or Deadwing which has just won an award for the DVD-A 5.1 surround mix. More rock than jazz though.

Can agree with this. Best listened to in pitch black if you ask me. Sounds come from all over the place.

The Springsteen Born To Run rerelease boxset comes with 2 DVD's. One is a full 2 hour plus concert from London in the 70's remastered in full 5.1.

Very much a jazz/soul feel to this.. absolutely terrific.
