Take 6: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Read "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


A capella group Take 6 produces little more than an extended play CD with its holiday offering, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.

Esperanza Spalding: Chamber Music Society

Read "Chamber Music Society" reviewed by Ernest Barteldes


On the opening track of her much-lauded, self-titled major label debut, Esperanza (Heads Up, 2008 ), bassist/vocalist Esperanza Spalding covered Milton Nascimento's timeless gem, “Ponta de Areia." Rather than covering another of the singer/composer's tunes on Chamber Music Society, Spalding recruits Nascimento to perform on her own “Apple Blossoms." It's but one example of a highly ...
