Jesus etc. – Wilco

“No matter how many years pass, this song and album still feels so fresh. His voice, the rolling pulse and its simplicity make it a thing of beauty.”

.

Better Than – Gretchen Parlato

“One of my modern-day inspirations. I love how her voice floats through the song  so delicate and subtle yet full of restraint and nuance. The fluttery sparkle sounds don’t hurt either.”

.

Powa – tUnE-yArDs

“Merrill blows my mind! She doesn’t just write songs for us, she takes us on rhythmic and vocaltastic adventure. So cool and so her. Love!”

.

In a Sentimental Mood – Sarah Vaughn

“One of the first jazz songs I can remember hearing. Sarah really taught me how to sing. I’d imitate her like crazy. I must have heard this song 1000 times.”

.

Eternally – Charlie Chaplin

“I know, it’s a bit dated but if you seen The Kid, you get where I’m coming from. I’m all about melodies that stay with people and this one’s engrained in my heart.”
