Review
The custom jazz label serves up ten dark, moody selections from its array of artists spanning from seductive female vocalists Melissa Walker and Jenny Evans to Dusko Goykovich's poignant muted trumpet and Karl Ratzer's delectable guitar musings on "Farmer's Charm." An array of other fossil-school flavored jazz pieces, including a vocal by Enja's most familiar artist, trumpeter Chet Baker, makes this priced right -- less than ten dollars online -- a listening bargain. Perfect for rainy days and pensive moods. ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide
