Cool Jazz
- Bye Bye Blackbird-Melody Gardot (Gardot's wise-beyond-her-years voice is ideal for this cover version.)
- Dreamer-Joe Henderson (The guitar melody of this Antonio Carlos Jobim tune works well on the saxophone.)
- Rise-Russell Malone (Yet another good cover; Herb Alpert's trumpet line transfers well to Malone's guitar.)
- Arbor Day-Solas featuring Aoife O'Donovan (Breathy vocals and poignant Celtic instrumentation serve the tune's heartfelt, wistful lyrics effectively.)
- Myself At Last-Graham Nash (The introspective lyrics should strike a chord with many listeners; Nash offers the listener hope for the future.)
- Munka utan-Szaloki Agi (Hungarian Jazz & Lounge describes the tune more accurately. The vocals coalesce well with the violin and walking bass line.)
- Nuages-Django Reinhardt (Listen and allow yourself to be transported to another era of pleasant fingerstyle guitar playing. I half-expect Leon Redbone to start singing when I hear "Nuages.")
- Amen-Otis Redding (A listener can't ask for more feeling behind the lyrics than this. Redding incorporates "This Little Light Of Mine" into the tune skillfully. As strong as "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay" is, the rest of Redding's catalog deserves attention, as well.)
