A Thanksgiving recording? That's what the folks at Windham Hill have proposed. Whether or not the theme truly makes sense is quickly made irrelevant by the beautiful performances. Of particular note is the stunning performance of "We Gather Together" by Paul McCandless, Philip Aaberg, and Michael Manring. The entire set is a consistently beautiful listen that can be, and should be, enjoyed year round. ~ Robert Taylor

| | Jackson Browne Running On Empty CD (1977)
Thanksgiving
$5.99  
Also available with JACKSON BROWNE (SATURATE BEFORE USING) on 1 cassette.
An audacious concept album about life on the road, this is a mix of in concert performances and informal sessions taped in various hotel rooms (see "Shaky Town," although it's hard to believe that Browne, by then a major star, was actually staying at a Holiday Inn). It's very '70s--the overall aura of cocaine-fueled decadence is almost palpable--but it works far better than you'd expect, and the songs are consistently memorable, even if Browne didn't write them all.
High points include a stunning half hotel/half concert version of Danny O'Keefe's "The Road," still the best song ever written about the life of a travelling musician, and the closing medley of the roadie anthem "The ...

| | Mindi Abair Come As You Are CD (2004)
Thanksgiving
$15.65 
Smooth jazz saxophonist Mindi Abair delivers a laid-back and sensual performance on Come As You Are. More pop than jazz, Abair plays mostly melody lines and the occasional bluesy aside. The album consists largely of dance- and groove-oriented numbers, although Abair does take some charming vocal turns on the mellow ballads "Every Time," "I Can Remember," and the ...
| | Norah Jones Fall CD (2009)
Thanksgiving
$14.44   
With The Fall, Norah Jones completes the transition away from her smooth cabaret beginnings and toward a mellowly arty, modern singer/songwriter. Jones began this shift on 2007's Not Too Late, an album that gently rejected her tendencies for lulling, tasteful crooning, but The Fall is a stronger, more cohesive work, maintaining an elegantly dreamy state that's faithful to the crooner of Come Away with Me while feeling decidedly less classicist. Some of this could be attributed ...

| | Harlem Experiment CD (2007) Digipak
Thanksgiving
$11.39
The third entry in a series that began in 2001 with The Philadelphia Experiment and followed with 2003's The Detroit Experiment doesn't attempt to distill the music of an entire city, but rather a neighborhood within one. But that neighborhood being Harlem, there is enough culture to draw upon to create a dozen volumes, and so producer Aaron Levinson and Ropeadope Records founder Andy Hurwitz had their hands full. Simply trying to decide how to sum up on one newly minted all-star session all of the music that has emanated from within this storied section of New York City must have been a most daunting task, but The Harlem Experiment succeeds in mashing jazz, R&B, funk, hip-hop, Latin, and even klezmer -- Jews once comprised Harlem's largest ethnic group -- seamlessly into one steaming, exciting creation. The musicians who form the core of The Harlem Experiment are in themselves a varied, theoretically disconnected bunch: guitarist Carlos Alomar is best known for his work with David Bowie; Steve Bernstein is a well-known N.Y.C.-based jazz trumpeter; and Don Byron is primarily a jazz clarinetist whose adventurousness has taken him to klezmer, Motown (he recorded a fine tribute album to saxophonist Junior Walker), and elsewhere. Rounding it out are keyboardist Eddie Martinez, bassist Ruben Rodriguez, and drummer Steve Berrios. In addition, the guest list includes multi-genre vocalist Queen Esther; the great bluesman Taj Mahal; vocalist/guitarist James Hunter; trumpeter Olu Dara; turntablist Larry Legend; and the poet Mums (best known for his long-term role on HBO's prison drama Oz), serving here as a DJ who ties the pieces together via interludes during a mock radio program. How all of these disparate elements come together without sounding disjointed or ersatz hip is something of a minor miracle, but it works: Mahal's scratchy vocal on the Cab Calloway vehicle "Reefer Man" gives way matter-of-factly to Bernstein's star turn on the easygoing ...
