- The Same-Estelle (From Estelle's new release; plaintive, haunting lyrics about taking a break from an unhealthy situation are delivered effectively.)
- Monedita-La Santa Cecilia (An infectious rhythm contrasts effectively with lyrics about a protagonist with possibly questionable priorities.)
- Mood Indigo-Nina Simone (For a mood that's "bluer than blue can be," this is a surprisingly upbeat arrangement.)
- The Meaning Of The Blues-Carmen McRae (Lyrically compatible with "Mood Indigo," sung and played elegantly in a slower tempo.)
- Consider Me Gone-Christian McBride featuring Sting (An even stronger version of this Sting song, originally from Sting's album, "The Dream Of The Blue Turtles." McBride's bass jazzes up Sting's vocals.)
- Dog Days Are Over-Florence + The Machine (A hook that holds up six years later.)
- Moments In Love-Art Of Noise (An atmospheric, of-its-time ('80s) tune, with sparse, effective vocals. This was an enjoyable track to play on KNJZ.)
