KCSM (San Mateo, CA)
- O Cantador (Live At Montreux)-Flora Purim (Brazilian vocals and keyboard fir for a cinematic dream sequence.)
- Cape Verdean Blues-Stefon Harris & Blackout (The percolating Latin jazz feel in the keyboard and all other instruments could segue with any number of Chucho Valdes tunes.)
- Helpless-Fareed Haque (A strong guitar cover of the Neil Young-penned Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young tune.)
- Friedrich Kuhlau: Piano Quartet No. 1 in C minor, Op. 32: I. Allegro (New Budapest Quartet; Ilona Prunyi, piano) (Somber yet sweet; the movement's dolce quality is heard largely from the violin.)
- E Hele Pohaku-Lono (Laid-back folky vocals and guitar.)
- Light From A Distant Shore-Hollie Smith (Moving Celtic-style vocals and instrumentation; I would never have guessed Smith was just 16 when she recorded this.)
- I Can't Stop Loving You-Kem (These heartfelt R&B vocals wouldn't be out of place on a smooth jazz station.)
