• Carla Lother's spiritually evocative, breathtaking vocal work can be heard on Jaelish, while The Lake demonstrates her abilty to create a beautiful musical portrait using her voice and piano accompaniment (from JD183).

• Dave's True Story's Dear Miss Lucy (from JD189) and Sex Without Bodies (from JD164) epitomize the comical, yet witty side of lounge-style jazz.

• Rebecca Pidgeon's folk-inspired The Underground (from JD141) and Celtic-flavored MacDougall's Men (from JD165) prove why she is considered one of the most gifted female vocalists on Chesky Records.

• Sara K's Ball n' Joint showcases her unique blend of acoustic folk and blues in a live and intimate setting. Taken from her critically acclaimed 1999 release "No Cover" (JD185), this track portrays her emotional and energetic voice.

• David Johansen explores the folk/blues anthology of Harry Smith with the traditional Poor Boy Blues and the down and dirty Well I've Been To Memphis (from JD196).

• Much of this compilation, which also includes Livingston Taylor's acoustic ballad Our Turn To Dance (from JD162), Christy Baron's jazz interpretation of Peter Gabriel's Mercy Street (from JD201) and The Coryells' contemporary blues composition Somebody's Got To Win, Somebody's Got To Lose (from JD192) was recorded using Chesky's signature 96-kHz/24-bit recording technology.
