Anita Baker: The Best of Anita Baker
by Daniel Garrett
On The Best of Anita Baker, the singer goes from singing that “love like ours is heaven sent, each day a day to remember” in the song “Angel” to singing “you should have heard the way he shouted and the way that I screamed” in “I Apologize,” a movement from a romanticism that is positively adolescent ...

Charles Mingus: The Very Best Of Charles Mingus
by Mike Perciaccante
Mingus was a genius. The music on this CD is incredible. Anything that Mingus recorded was incredible. This being the Very Best Of, what does one expect, but fantastic performances. The only real complaint her is why one CD an not two. Mingus released enough “must have" classic compositions, that two CDs would be the most ...
