 | A Gentle Time - When Sunny Meets Tom
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $11.45 Playing this CD on the air prompted a long distance caller from California to ask, Who is that pianist? Another time I played the first track just before going on air, and I was too ver klempt to speak. A sublime collection with intimate intensity.

 | Loverly by Cassandra Wilson
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $4.44 Ive been waiting for Cassandra to do something this strong since Blue Light Til Dawn and here it is. Best tracks are #2(Lover Come Back To Me), a swing tune with an off the hook piano solo by Jason Moran, #5 (Caravan), #6 (Till There Was You) or #10 (Dust My Broom).

 | One for Shirley by Tim Warfield
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $10.36 Boy do I like this record. A great collection of soulful jazz, sounds straight out of a jazz fest, laid back, groovy and swinging. Every track is play worthy, not a stinker in the bunch, but Id go w/Scotts #2 (Oasis) or #4 (The Beat Goes On).

 | Miles from India (TWO CD SET) by Various Artists
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $13.99 What can I say? Im a sucker for all things Miles. Bob Belden puts together a fascinating project with some masterful musicians. And it all works.

 | Just A Little Lovin' by Shelby Lynne
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.48 A country singer interprets Dusty Springfield with a set of understated arrangements. Yes, a masterpiece.

 | Rabo de Nube
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $13.25 This is the first 5 star review of the year - a masterpiece. Lloyd has a string of them in this century - his recordings for ECM have been consistently marvelous. This band features a little more of a groove, with Eric Harland and Reuben Rogers cooking up the riddims. And the addition of Jason Moran is a treat. My favorite tracks are Ramanujan, and Bookers Garden
