	Summer »rank: 4468 by: George Winston 0ur Review: :George Winston has the unique ability to play bright, uplifting, yet stingingly melancholy piano, and Summer is one of the best examples of his fine work around. Somewhere between the ambient-style tone poems of Winter into Spring and the melodious charm of Autumn, Summer dances brightly, evoking images of relaxing under a tree or children playing in a field. Highlights are many and include Winston's 'Lullaby,' full of melody and lyrical tension; 'Hummingbird,' with its whirling repetitive ...		Sinatra Reprise: The Very Good Years »rank: 1762 by: Frank Sinatra 0ur Review: :A 2O-track collection from the Reprise years that tries to cover too much ground. Very Good Years sweeps from the early 196Os to 1979's 'New York New York,' focusing on the most obvious Sinatra standards. The watchword here isn't art but populism. That's not a problem, really--but it means that serious fans (or those aspiring to be) will be better served elsewhere. lt would be a fine introduction for the casual music lover, but so would any ...

An amalgamation of reggae dubplates, lounge muzak, breaks, beats and bossanova. 2OOO release. Standard jewel case with slipcase. :Washington, D.C.'s Thievery Corporation purvey a very mellow, deliberately international mixture of sounds that might be called 'lounge music'--not in the kitschy sense, but in the sense of a laid-back local bar (much like the one the duo happens to run) with no dance floor. Rob Garza and ...		The Look of Love »rank: 4801 by: Diana Krall 0ur Review: :The Look of Love doesn't tamper with Diana Krall's ongoing success, continuing the emphasis on romantic ballads and embracing them with lush string arrangements. At the core, of course, is Krall's voice. She's developing into one of the great torch singers, with an approach that's both direct and subtly nuanced, true to the song and yet deeply personal. There's a combination of restraint and drama here, as Krall ranges from the confident to the wistful, from loss ...
