This album was well-conceived and well-executed. It tells stories and delivers messages we need to hear and does it with marvelous vocals and musicianship.

Celebrated violinist Anne Akiko Meyers and pianist Akira Eguchi's program ranged from the 28-year-old Beethoven's teemingly imaginative first violin sonata to an evocative work for violin and electronics written in 2009 by the then also 28-year-old Jakub Ciupinski, inspired by the WWII wreck of an Italian ship.

This album finds Ginty and his excellent band finally teamed with a vocalist who completely fits.

Capturing the imagination is a prominent factor of Wytold's music. His recording has gorgeous soundscapes.

The bluesy vocal register of Wertz, intertwined with the light tremors of Cohen's keys, make for an ambient jazz repertoire.

Marco Beltrami's outstanding original score for 'Logan' equals the film's emotional, visceral content. The subtle, yet emotional music enhances the film viewing and evokes this comprehensive character narrative very well.

'Saturnz Barz (Spirit House)' is delightfully weird, addictive and promises that its parent record 'Humanz' will be yet another post-modern masterpiece―and head-scratcher―like the four albums that preceded it.

Alt-blues duo Little Hurricane pushes the boundaries of its sound with third full-length album 'Same Sun Same Moon.'

Absolutely essential for Paul McCartney fans, this super-deluxe 'Flowers in the Dirt' reissue is the best yet in the Archive Collection series.

Performing music of Mozart, Richard Strauss, and 20th-century composer Jean Françaix, the four musicians played as one, like lifelong friends, with exquisite sensitivity and skill.
