This one's been getting lots of play time in my CD player recently. Many of the tunes I have found are ones that are played in sessions, but aren't the warhorses that many people are sick of playing, so they're good tunes to know. Most of the tunes are also pretty accessible in terms of being able to learn them off the CD. Not that they're played slow, but there's nothing over-the-top to mask the melody of the tunes. Just good solid playing. Available from the usual sources, but released by Windjam Records at http://www.windjam.com.
