Perspectives The Columbia Jazz Sampler

Oh, I remember some of these and the soft sound of jazz floating down from Jim's office. I often recognize music, but have a difficult time recalling the name or artist. Jim would be proud that musically illiterate wife could at least recall the tunes.

Perspectives The Columbia Jazz Sampler CD provides a delightful mix of soft, and sometimes toe-tapping, jazz from well-known jazz artists, including:

• Wynton Marsales - April In Paris
• Kimiko Itoh - Dindi
• Arthur Blythe - 
• As Of Yet
• The Zawinul Syndicate - No Mercy For Me (Mercy, Mercy, Mercy)
• Jean-Luc Ponty - New Resolutions
• Harry Connick, Jr. - Little Waltz
• Grover Washington, Jr. - Shivaree Ride
• Wayne Shorter - Daredevil
• Paquito D'Rivera - The Magic City (Miami)
• Harrison / Blanchard - Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise
• Kirk Whalum - Glow
• Branford Marsalis - Just One Of Those Things
• Full Circle - Sorcerer's Apprentice

Recorded back in 1987 for Columbia (when Jim was switching to CDs from vinyl records).  I'm surprised I enjoyed the CD. It's good relaxing music.
