Patricia Barber · 1994 Spin it Again - Two microphones, a working bar in Chicago, and one of the most unsettling piano voices in American music.

Norah Jones · 2002 - Spin it Again - Don't forget to spin her newer stuff too. This is one artist that gets better with age.

Astrud Gilberto · 1964 Spin it Again - Gilberto's voice was so small and so far back in the mix that you had to lean in, and once you did, you weren't going anywhere for a while.

Chet Baker · 1954 Spin it Again - A twenty-four-year-old kid from Oklahoma sang like he was already finished with everything, and somehow that was exactly right.

Bill Evans Trio · 1962 Spin it Again - Bill Evans, Scott LaFaro, and Paul Motian in a New York restaurant, February 1961, and LaFaro was dead ten days later, which is the only context you need.

Rickie Lee Jones · 1979 Spin it Again - She showed up in 1979 with a beat-up beret and a voice that sounded like it had already been through something, and nobody from that year sounds quite like her.

Carole King · 1971 Spin it Again - Carole King sat down at a piano in 1971 and quietly made every other singer-songwriter that decade feel like they were still figuring it out.

Franz Schubert · 1827 Spin it Again - Schubert wrote these eight piano pieces the year before he died and somehow made restraint feel like the whole point.

Alban Berg Quartet · 1981 Spin it Again - The Alban Berg Quartet in 1981, playing Opp. 59 and 74 like they had the rest of their lives to get it right and somehow still finished on time.

Franz Schubert · 1813 Spin it Again - Schubert was sixteen, still borrowing paper, and already writing slow movements that make the second half of your evening feel longer than it needs to.
