Some of my recent purchases from the iTunes store:
Yellowjackets - "God Only Knows" from a new jazz tribute to Brian Wilson. I'm somewhat of a fan of the Yellowjackets and their arrangement of this Beach Boys is really nice.
Jiva - "The Goodbye Song" from their "The Love EP." Nice jazzy R&B groove with a nice sax solo towards the end.
George Benson - "Give Me The Night" This track was a big hit for him in 1983...Quincy Jones' production fingerprints are all over it...the horns, the strings, the vocals...it's all good.
Over The Rhine - "Bothered" This track was hidden at the end of their "Ohio" record but this version is from a CD of live tracks and alternate mixes released to their fan club. It's a stripped-down arrangement, with just a gorgeously haunting piano accompanying Karin Bergquist's vocal. Lovely. ¶ 7:59 PM
