Addiction
Jaared
TRIPPIN & RHYTHM, 2008
Right on the money
+ Jaared-Addiction
+ A FINE RETURN
It's a pleasure to see how much Jarred has matured as a saxologist. This is a must own CD for any smooth jazz enthusiast. From the first tune to the last, I knew he had left it all out on the floor. This dude is a great addition to the genre.

No Promises
Carla Bruni
Downtown
Sweet Sound
+ I LOVE this album!
Carla Bruni putting music to Yeats and singing the verses is a masterpiece.
She sings in a sweet,thoughtful whisper.
A favorite 'Those Dancing Days are Gone" is sung exceptionally well. It's very delicate, like a lullaby to a child.
Admiring her as a model for many years. She's now more than a ...

Marcus Miller
Concord Records, 2008
Marcus - AWESOME !
+ Great, upbeat cd!
+ marcus
The whole album is incredible. Marcus Miller has beaten his own high standards. You do not have to be a bass player to listen to this CD over and over - but if you are a bass player, you won't take it out of your music player ever !

With two decades of performances under his belt,the renowned, multi-Grammy nominee master saxophonist Dave Koz has turned to one of his favorite pastimes, the movies, for inspiration for his new album .
The result is "At The Movies", a beautiful, romantic collection of timeless songs from some of ...

New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War
Erykah Badu
Motown, 2008
I stay woke...give it a few more spins (and read up as well)
+ "I stay woke"
+ Weird at First, but Erykah is weird
At the time that New Amerykah Pt. 1 came out, a lot of my friends were telling me how weak the album was and how weak I was for liking it...but I have to say, this is one of the best and most NECESSARY albums that have come out in these mid to late 2000's. The current mainstream music was ...

The Golden Age
American Music Club
Merge Records, 2008
Laid-back, smooth, with a beautiful, bittersweet lyricism.
+ Eitzel at home
+ Golden
To those in the know, Mark Eitzel's AMC have made some of the most marvellous but melancholy music known to man.
American Music Club were the forerunners of thought provoking/anguished alternative American rock during the '80s and early '90s.
But after a 10-year hiatus, the band reformed in 2004 ...

Day Trip
Pat Metheny Trio
Nonesuch, 2008
You need to take a "Day Trip".
+ The best guitar player.
+ Rightfully popular
I have listened to this over and over, I can't get enough. One of Metheny's most mature and enjoyable releases. What a pleasure to hear these three great musicians together. Pop this CD into your car stereo and I guarantee you won't be so aggressive behind the wheel. Enjoy.
