- In A Silent Way/It's About That Time-Miles Davis (This side of the album, "In A Silent Way," begins and ends on a celestial note. I felt like I was listening to the soundtrack of a journey through the cosmos. The generosity Davis allowed his rhythm section impressed me. When he comes in on trumpet, there's no doubt who's driving the melody; however, he allows his rhythm players ample room to create an atmosphere. I listened to this album side in its entirety over dinner, with my cat, Collette, curled up at my feet. An intense thunderstorm rattled her, so my reassurances that things would settle down, set to Davis and company's celestial soundscape, helped soothe her.)
- Soul Finger-The Bar-Kays (With a hipper set of influences, this is how "London Bridge" might have turned out. How could anyone not like the uninhibited brass and guitar on this track?)
- Love You For A Long Time-Maggie Rogers (Rogers makes familiar-sounding sentiments sound fresh here. There's an appealing driving groove in her vocals and the guitar.)
- One Love-Bob Marley & The Wailers (A timely appeal for unity, appropriate for this pandemic. Even people who don't think they've ever heard a reggae song have probably heard this at some point.)
- I'm Vibing You-Thomas Marriott (There's impressive synergy among the trumpet, piano, and bass in this uptempo number.)
