The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's 2008 Massey Lectures in audio book format. Plug on your earphones and take a long, leisurely walk toting your mp3 player as you listen to the legendary novelist, poet, and essayist Margaret Atwood delivering a surprising look at the topic of debt. In her wide-ranging, entertaining, and imaginative approach to the subject, Atwood proposes that debt is like air - something we take for granted until things go wrong. And then, while gasping for breath, we become very interested in it. A fresh perspective in the midst of global financial crisis, indeed!

Eden Atwood has my vote for the best jazz vocalist today, and that doesn't need qualifying as best female, best young, best whatever ethnic or regional background, what I'm saying is I think she is the best jazz singer today period. I had the pleasure of hearing her live, doing many of these tunes, and she is warm, wonderful, funny, but most of all totally musical and artistically compelling…

Outstanding female vocals and excellent Jazz, Latin and Bossa Nova. This disc features outstanding tunes penned by the likes of A.C. Jobim, Kenny Dorham and Chick Corea.

Jazz and cabaret singer Eden Atwood returns to the Great American Songbook with a splendid collection of romantic ballads and other standards. Pianist Bill Cunliffe contributes the arrangements and leads the backing ensemble of Tom Harrell on flugelhorn and trumpet, Darek Oleskiewciz on bass and Larance Marable on drums.
