Jay D'Amico Tuscan Prelude (CAP)
Hands down the most beautiful jazz release this year. A gifted songwriter and pianist, D'Amico's classical background is omnipresent in Tuscan Prelude. From the title track to "Sonata Mvt. 1" to "Aria in D" you can hear why fellow pianist Mike Longo lauds D'Amico's gifts of melody and originality. Click the CD cover to hear for yourself. - Jon Norton
Various Artists Putamayo Presents: Quebec (Putamayo)
Quebec province is home to the largest French speaking population in the America's. As the only province/state in North America where French is the offical language, the music of Quebec is vastly underheard. Though there are tracks with a heavier funky feel and a couple cuts with embedded electronica, an airey French pop/folk sensibility permeates this release. - Jon Norton
