Cheryl Bentyne Sings the Winners
by C. Michael Bailey
It is not so hard to sing jazz music, at least, if such is measured by the glut, deluge, plethora or superabundance of jazz vocal recordings released each season.

Jurgen Friedrich: Monosuite
by Dan Bilawsky
Pianist Jurgen Friedrich doesn't play a single note of music on Monosuite, but his personality and cognitive bearing are omnipresent.
