WHRW (Binghamton, NY)
- Fly Me To The Moon-Shiro Sagisu (Strong female vocals backed by soaring orchestral accompaniment.)
- Solid Gold-Keith Mansfield (Just as Chuck Mangione's "Give It All You Got" is perfect Olympics theme music, "Solid Gold" is ideal theme music for any action-packed sports broadcast or highlights show.)
- Martini Time-The Aqua Velvets (How Marshall Crenshaw or Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet might sound if they recorded an album of surf instrumentals; it was good to hear this track from '95.)
- Georgy Girl-Prabha Devi (Naturally, when you hear this oldie by The Seekers, you probably think, "This is a sitar instrumental waiting to happen." Wait...You don't think that? Give this version a listen; it might convince you.)
- Beautiful Love-Frank Potenza (A fine tribute to the music of understated guitarist Joe Pass. The entire CD, "For Joe," is recommended.)
- Jammin' In The Boro-Larry Douglas & Jorge Pineda Alltet (Appealing uptempo trumpet and ensemble playing with recurring vocals.)
- Things Are Getting Better-Cannonball Adderley (Adderley leads a swingin' ensemble in a tune reminiscent of "I'm Beginning To See The Light.")
- All Or Nothing At All-Denise Donatelli (Smooth, sultry vocals.)
