My Personal top 10 (In no particular Order)

1. Richard Pryor "...And It's Deep Too: The Complete Warner Recordings (1968-1992)" - If I'm going to be on this island, then dammit, I HAVE to laugh...
   
2. Cassandra Wilson - "New Moon Daughter" - Blue Note, 1995 - Simply the best recording of one of the best artists around. Her cover of "Strange Fruit" alone is almost worth putting this project on the list, but the whole thing is magical.
3. "The Tom Joyner Morning Show Old School Mix, Vol.1" - Cause I gots to have my funk.
4. Tito Puente - "Fifty Years Of Swing" - RMM, 1997 - El Rey with his band and a who's who of latin music.
5. Kurt Elling - "Man In The Air" - Blue Note, 2003 - Again, the best recording of one of the best artists around. (Nightmoves was a close second). Just an incredible project, most especially Resolution which is the second section of John Coltrane's suite "A Love Supreme".
6. Jimi Hendrix - "Are You Experienced?" - All the hits: Hey Joe, Foxy Lady, Purple Haze... Damn.
7. Dave Brubeck "Vocal Encounters" - Columbia Records, 2001 - An anthology of Dave Brubeck accompanying a wide variety of singers From Carmen McRae and Louis Armstrong to Lambert Hendricks and Ross. Wow!
8. Betty Carter - "The Audience With Betty Carter" - Verve 1980 - If you need a definition of bebop singing, listen to this. Period.
9. Jean-Luc Ponty - "Cosmic Messenger" Atlantic 1978 - During his spacey, fusion heyday... Amazing. Artful. Complete. The best from that period...and that is saying something.
10. Elvis Costello & The Brodsky Quartet - "The Juliet Letters" - Warner Bros. 1993 - Elvis C's haunting voice and singing style combines with the Brodsky Quartet's masterful playing resulting in a gem. In my opinion, this is the future of modern classical music.
