amma (Songs for my Grandmother)
by Svavar Knútur
Icelandic folk songs sung with restraint and affection - plus, he feeds a goat kid with a milk bottle while dedicating the album to his grandmother. This is beautiful music tenderly delivered.

Sacred Dimension
by Nat Birchall
It may sound superficially like a retro late Coltrane sound-alike trip, but this band is deep - and a genuine jazz harp player! Awesome tunes and beautifully recorded.

What Flows Between
by Mark Treffel
Mark's played keyboards on my stuff for donkey's years and this is his first solo piano outing - it's a languorous, ECM inspired trip. Listen late at night in one sitting.

Stunningly beautiful songs wrought with pedal steel and nylon-string guitar that cast mesmerizing melodic shapes.
