Are there any good links with music awards or recommended recordings besides the ones posted by Stereophile, TAS and 6moons? I listen mostly to classical, jazz and world music on vinyls and CD's

Thanks!

The NPR Basic Jazz Library is good - troporobo 22:14:30 07/15/07 (0)
If you're looking for the canon of classics, you can read annotated recommendations of their pick of the 100(?) basic jazz LPs and listen to excerpts here:

NPR Basic Jazz Library

There is also "The List" here on AA:

I also listen to a lot of world music but don't know of any lists. A couple of recent faves that jump to mind are the groups Radio Tarifa, Surinder Sandhu, and Oumou Sangare. If you are into streaming radio over the internet check out KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" show, always something interesting going on there.

the gramophone site is an excellent place for recommended recordings.it's free and has a good data base for recommended cd's.
