| A Love Supreme | | | John Coltrane | Jazz at its best, very pure music that comes straight from the soul, masterfully played. |
|
| Good Vibes | | | Bachtold & Gold | Smooth melodies showcase a jazz fusion. Mellow keys and vibes are backed up by slinky rhythms and a gently driving bass. A sizzling easy-listening compilation, recalling nights of hot, sultry urban jazz. |

| Mill Street Jazz Lab I | | | Mill Street Jazz Lab | A collection of songs featuring flute in an array of styles, ranging from slow sinuous melodic to on-the-edge experimental, with some tunes making a gracious bow to cool jazz standards. Throughout, the flute dances and plays with guitar, keys, rhythm and brass, with occasional tastes of world-beat and Latin polyrhythms. |
|
| Mill Street Jazz Lab II | | | Mill Street Jazz Lab | This CD is a compilation of tunes ranging from slowly sinuous to a driving up-tempo. Tenor sax weaves its way throughout in a bebop style, with free-form creative experimentation and many bursts of brilliance. |

| Patahan | | | simakDIALOG | Compelling Indonesian electro-acoustic progressive jazz-fusion with a distinctive cultural bent. For its first international release Jakarta-based simakDialog delivers Patahan, a live recording that suggests how Pat Metheny might sound were he from the Far East rather than the United States. A combination of electric and acoustic instruments, the 14 year-old group is innovatively propelled by two percussionists rather than a conventional drummer, but the result is no less powerful. Keyboardist/composer Riza Arshad, guitarist Tohpati and bassist Adhhitya join vocalist Nyak Ina Raseuki and percussionists Endang Ramdam and Emy Tata for five lengthy, episodic and finely detailed compositions that create a unique nexus of jazz and less-traveled ethnicity. Expansive solos, rich harmonies, telling interplay and propulsive rhythms make Patahan a genre-busting album that demands to be heard. |

| Quincy Floyd Quintet | | | Quincy Floyd Quintet | A jazz/blues fusion with subtly interwoven melodic structurings. Fine interplays of guitar, keys and rhythm section invoke an easy-listening sound with some wonderful experimentation. |
|
| The Collection - Cynthia Basinet CD Review | | | Cynthia Basinet | For Cynthia Basinet, her voice itself is an instrument; in terms of emotional power, it's a lethal weapon. Sensual, emotionally damaged and world-weary, Basinet's vocals have the makings of a film noir femme fatale... |

| Three Suites | | | Duke Ellington | Jazz version of Nutcracker suite |
|
| Zaphod & the New Harmonics | | | Zaphod & the New Harmonics | Everybody in the galaxy listens to Zaphod & the New Harmonics. From the Central Core to the furthest reaches of Sector RMB81, their space soul, rock & roll sound is heard all over Sub- and Macro-space and those who can't make it to their live gigs listen to their recordings on microchip. |
