Ragtime, New Orleans Style Vol. 3
by Andrew Oliver
This is a masterpiece. A great selection of classic and lesser-known rags interpreted in the Jelly Roll Morton style. One of the best solo piano albums I have ever heard!

A Sailboat in the Moonlight
by Michael Gamble and his Very Swinging Friends
This remotely-recorded album swings from the first note -- just as you would expect from any session led by Michael Gamble!

Jonathan Doyle and Matt Weiner...two master musicians, making a full band's worth of wonderful sounds from just a duet.
