Hanjin: Raw Jazz
by Jim Santella
With this album of vocal standards accompanied by a rhythm trio, Hanjin climbs the ladder of contemporary male jazz singers and ranks up there with the all-time best.

Sonja Dunson: You Can't Buy Love
by Jim Santella
This soundtrack from Sonja Dunson's 2001 film project oozes soulful emotion with every breath. It's the kind of feel-good music that's envisioned with dim lights, a cozy sofa and plush carpet, pleasant company and a whole lot of privacy. It's feel-good music.

Joe and the Meanderthals: Open The Gate And Flood The Valley
by Jerry D'Souza
Reedman Joe Albano makes quite an impact with a debut recording where improvised music is seasoned with rock, heavy metal, classical music and jazz.

Jose Rodriguez: Moments In Life
by Nicholas F. Mondello
Sometimes fascinating listening experiences can emanate from surprising sources. Such is the example with Moments in Life, an excellent CD from bassist Jose Rodriguez.
