Review of the Maria Carey CD Butterfly
Butterfly is the latest Pop CD released by the richly talented Maria Carey who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks.

Among the new music added lately are three songs from ladies who pioneered their brand of alternative music as far back as the late 70's, and one extremely promising new artist.

Passing Ships is the latest Jazz CD released by the richly talented Andrew Hill who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I'm confident Andrew Hill fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one.
I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Passing Ships. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Andrew Hill's most impressive releases ever.
Overall Passing Ships is outstanding from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Jazz fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.
While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - Passing Ships, track 5 - The Brown Queen, and track 7 - Yesterday's Tomorrow
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Sideways. Good stuff!
