    And don't overlook Patricia Barber, IMHO one of the finest jazz singers out
    there.
    Her album MODERN COOL is a classic.

    Thanks much for the props. With the "album of the week" I do try to call
    attention to what I think is the best album I've heard in the last seven
    days. But it's not a definitive list, by any means. Sometimes it takes me
    a while to warm up to a really great record (e.g., Breakbeat Era), sometimes
    the "second best" album of the week gets buried, and sometimes there is
    simply not a lot to pick from on a given week. So don't take my "album of
    the week" selection TOO seriously. ;-)
