Sunny Kim and Ben Monder: The Shining Sea: Live at Olympus Hall
by Dave Wayne
People who know me know that I am not particularly interested in jazz vocals or straight-up renditions of jazz standards.

SPOKE: (r)anthems
by Ernest Barteldes
On (r)anthems, the New York-based ensemble takes various pop classics and favorite World Music tunes and reinvents them into their own flavor, either going into a New Orleans-tinged feel or just improvising around the melody.
