Dino Jag’s Australian summer spirit, filled with hope and energy, brightens even the darkest moments.

'Automaton' gives voice to the fact that Jamiroquai was, and still is, a prominent fixture in classic and contemporary dance and funk music.

'Turbo' has its flaws but it should still be appreciated as the distinct, experimental nugget full of party rockers that it is. The real gem of this three-CD edition, however, is the 20-track live show from May 22, 1986 that makes up the latter two discs.

The soloists shone both separately and in concert, as if distilling the work of the huge chorus behind them. I didn't want the penultimate piece, "O Sleep," sung by the chorus and then the soloists in counterpoint, to end.

Take up Zito's battle cry, "Make Blues Not War," and enjoy this incredible record, which I believe is his best yet!

Andrea Claburn's voice is charismatic, rooted in jazz tradition and melodic sensibilities with a contemporary bent.

Danophone’s ‘Rerun’ is an introspective and hopeful look into regret.

The Hungarian pianist's clean-cut appearance and sober air contrasted with the full-tilt Romantic force he brought to these difficult works.

Dubin's live performance with her trio has multiple facets, coursing through a swathe of material that contains variables of jazz, blues, and orchestral spoors.

'Love in Beats' (2017) is another solid effort from Omar Lye-Fook, affirming his position as one of the U.K.'s finest exports to espouse the sensuality and heart of R&B music.
