Aaron Parks - 2008 - Invisible Cinema

For an artist not yet 25, Invisible Cinema is refreshingly fully formed—amongst the year's best releases, it represents one possible future of jazz. With plenty to appeal to long-term, open-minded jazz fans, Parks' incorporation of familiar reference points also makes it a good bet to attract younger listeners.

Mike Moreno - 2008 - Third Wish

Third Wish is the sophomore release by guitarist Mike Moreno, yet it sounds more like the umpteenth recording of a veteran who's been in the trenches for many years—cool, calm, and collected, with nothing to prove but the music itself. It encapsulates Moreno's persona: fluid precision, lyricism, distinct tonality, and modernistic playing.

TRACKS
1.  I Have A Dream (Herbie Hancock)
2.  Children Of The Night (Wayne Shorter)
3.  Isotope (Joe Henderson)
4.  Lush Life (Billy Strayhorn)
5.  Third Wish (Mike Moreno)
6.  Another Way (Mike Moreno)
7.  Street Lights (Mike Moreno)
8.  A Flower Is A Lovesome Thing (Billy Strayhorn)
