- Village Green Preservation Society-Kate Rusby (Given the generally serious, poignant demeanor of her songs, I never imagined that Rusby would cover this tune by The Kinks and sing lyrics such as, "God save Donald Duck, vaudeville, and variety," even ironically. She does, though, and it works.)
- Got To Get To The Island-Cedar Walton (Walton's piano underpins an energetic melody that features a considerable saxophone contribution from Vincent Herring.)
- Home-Maria Schneider (A "Jazz Unlimited" highlight: There's an interesting blend of pastoral shading and John Coltrane's influence in this instrumental from Schneider's new release, "The Thompson Fields.")
- Fantasy-Earth, Wind & Fire (One of the group's many strong '70s hits; it's a well-constructed progression that comes together in a sing-along chorus.)
- Tell Me The Truth-J. Thompson (It was a pleasure to hear this on "The Jazz Collective." The mood it maintains, with a mysterious hook and whispered vocals, makes it an ideal late-night track; it could also work as the theme of a late-night TV drama. It's one of the stronger tracks that a former smooth jazz station here, WSSM, used to play.)
