From "M" to "R"

Madredeus: O Espirito De Paz
"...Madredeus has taken Europe by quiet storm....Teresa Salguero's gossamer vocals imbue the poetic lyrics with the melancholy nostalgia that the Portuguese call saudade." (Down Beat 5/96)

Bob Marley: The Best Of Bob Marley & The Wailers

Wynton Marsalis: Blood On The Fields The best big band jazz since Ellington. This is a fantastic album that I seem incapable of growing tired of. Marsalis' best work to date.

Charles Mingus: Ah Uhm Bassist Charles Mingus was one of the great figures in modern jazz. Raised in Los Angeles, he was a devotee of Duke Ellington, whose compositional style had an unsurpassed effect on the young composer. As a player, however, Mingus was drawn to his contemporaries, who included Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, and Max Roach (Roach and Mingus co-owned their own Debut Records during the '50s). Perhaps his greatest contribution was bridging the gap between those two generations: in Mingus's music, one could always explicitly hear the continuity between the big bands and the bebop era, the affinity between the romantic and the modern. Mingus Ah Um is perhaps the best introduction to his work as a soloist and composer (Better Git It in Your Soul, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, Fables of Faubus, Self-Portrait in Three Colors...)
