    Mat, I get a woody just looking at her, not to mention digging on her sultry and soulful voice once she starts in singing! She and Herbie pack a lot of heart into this piece. So, even tho I'm really not much for jazz vocals on the whole, this rates a solid 10/10.
    Here's one from an artist I'm just getting around to really listen to--thanks to Spotify. Check out the way a much younger Keith Jarrett still manages to light it up, along with drummer Jack Dejohnette: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=A7-uET8Fnkk. Charles Lloyd, along with Coltrane, is next on my Amazon "tobuy list" and already in my cart!

    Hey Steve. Glad you liked it. That's probably one of few songs I liked that had Aguilera in it. Herbie totally rocked on the piano. Anyway, give the whole album a listen, if you can. I especially recommend When Love Comes to Town featuring Johnny Lang and Joss Stone. Pure heaven!

    Re: Jarrett. It's a nice experience to hear young Jarrett playing, but I didn't like it. The rythmic pattern repeated over and over can get tiresome eventually, ya know. So, sorry but only 6.5/10.

    Now, here's a track that was used in a Polish TV series about cops. One of the best native productions I've seen. Despite being sort of minimalistic, the track is full of emotions.

    I've been meaning to post this one for a while. It comes from Herbie's not-that-recent CD called Possibilities.

    Have to admit this has changed my opinion of the woman.

    Mat, - Your Polish track gets 10/10 for atmosphere and instrumentation.
    teddie, I have to give the J.S.lovely sax top marks 10/10 (Someone else I hadn't heard before)

    I find Christina to have a voice too "hard" for me 7/10

    I've never felt that Chet Baker was rated high enough for his wonderfully atmospheric trumpet sound

    Hi Gord 9 out of 10 for me too. Kenton having some fun. That's the drummer Shelley Manne hamming it up on the vocal and Maynard Ferguson hitting the high notes on trumpet.

    Hi Gord,
    Funtime with Kenton (not exactly the (er -- cultured?) stuff normally associated with him but 9/10 for the trumpet alone; and add 1 for the fun

    This guy was a key player with S.K. but maybe not in the above referenced scene

    Hi Gord,
    Neither Stan Getz or The Lighthouse Allstars (what a line-up) can do any wrong for me. Its got to be 10/10

    Here's Stan with another of my favourites (Cal Tjader) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRrav...yer_detailpage

    Stan's also one of my favorites. That's 9/10.

    Here's an instrumental track from a Brazilian pianist/vocalist:

    Ok, John. I'm leaving this one for someone else to rate, then.
