Brazil Rock
- Tempo Perdido-Thiago Mendonca (Segues well with Neil Finn's "Driving Me Mad.")
- Robert Schumann: Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54 (The Philharmonia/Neeme Jarvi, conductor; Louis Lortie, piano) (Moods ranging from solemnity to euphoria are conveyed in this recording.)
- Rise-Russell Malone (An appealing laid back guitar sound. Also recommended: Malone's reworking of the Carpenters hit, "We've Only Just Begun.")
- Ode To A Butterfly-Nickel Creek (An instrumental gem from the band's self-titled album; Sara Watkins, Sean Watkins, and Chris Thile started playing together when they were kids, and their proficiency on violin, guitar, and mandolin is readily apparent.)
- Worried Mind-Eilen Jewell (Easy-to-digest vocals and lyrics that offer hope for the protagonist's troubled state of mind; this bodes well for Jewell's forthcoming "Sundown Over Ghost Town" release.)
- It Happens To Me-Ben Webster (A stylish saxophone arrangement that brings the melody of "Stardust" to mind.)
- Sky Dive-Freddie Hubbard (The strong title track from Hubbard's 1972 album; Hubbard's trumpet leads the way in this propulsive yet laid back melody.)
- Johann Schobert: Sonata III-III. Menuetto grazioso (Mario Martinoli, piano) (A solemn, contemplative movement for piano.)
- Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me A Little While)-Kim Weston (A tight Motown hit that doesn't get as much radio airplay as it should today. There's a great Doobie Brothers cover of the song that's a highlight of Tom Johnston's stint as lead singer.)
- Flowers In The Rain-The Move (The idealism of 1967 rock, in a bouncy arrangement, complete with horns. This is yet another track that segues smoothly with The Family Tree's "Nickelodeon Music.")
- Groovetimez-Al Gomez featuring Billy Townes (A slick guitar arrangement; ideal driving music.)
- We-Christine Reisner (An artfully told tale of two people who are meant to be a couple.)
