- Late In The Evening-Paul Simon ("Howzit Bayou" played several of Simon's songs today, in honor of his 74th birthday. There's certainly no shortage of excellent material from which to choose. "Late In The Evening," however, is one of Simon's most infectious melodies.)
- I Miss Your Bones-Hospitality (If I hadn't learned otherwise, I would have thought this was a new wave hit from the late '70s or early '80s. Actually, it was released last year. The tune has an appealing, basic guitar hook and vocals to match from Amber Papini.)
- Twisted Blues-Wes Montgomery (Proof that an ensemble can cook and sound breezy simultaneously. Montgomery pulled this off routinely.)
- Wake Up-Dave Weckl Band (Good synchronicity between the saxophone and rhythm section here.)
- Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 7 in E minor: V. Rondo-Finale, Allegro ordinario (Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra Of Venezuela/Gustavo Dudamel, conductor) (The timpani intro sets the tone for an energetic, brass-and-strings-dominated movement. This is how to bring a symphony to a dramatic, satisfying close.)
