Time for Living (1990). The music on this album is a blend of uplifting rhytmic and joyous melodies and soft relaxing tunes.

One can hear Holcomb relishing the warmth and resonance of the fresh, dissonant chords she creates.

Today and Now is an album by American jazz saxophonist Coleman Hawkins featuring performances recorded in 1962 for the Impulse! label.

Tempest plays traditional Celtic music with a rock & roll intensity that's accented by a wide range of influences from the blues to American country music, Cajun 2-steps, and Arabic music, with some old-time San Francisco psychedelic flair…
