"My list of favorite CDs fluctuates a bit, but these are some that come to mind again and again. I think of them as my desert island CDs....
Miles Davis/Gil Evans: Sketches of Spain
I think it is some of Miles' most beautiful playing on record, and absolutely magical writing by Gil. The marriage between Gil and Miles here is perfect.

Joćo Gilberto and Claus Ogerman: Amoroso
Joćo's playing and singing are one of the most beautiful things I know on this earth. To couple that with the greatest arranger for strings, Claus Ogerman, is to make a 'to die' recording. I love this one so much.

Egberto Gismonti: Infancia
It's tough to pick my favorite Egberto record, but once I heard the piece, 'A fala da paixćo,' I could no longer live without it.

Paco de Lucia: Zyryab
Paco de Lucia and his group have given me so much joy and inspiration. This is one of their CDs which I most adore. It reaches way beyond music and is just amazing.

Ravel Complete Works for Orchestra Vol. 1 and 2, Minnesota Orchestra.
I would want to take all Ravel's orchestral music with me if I had to go to an island, so I'll choose this whole set, especially the G Major Piano Concerto - I can not live without that middle movement.

Jimi Hendrix: Electric Ladyland
Fills in a lot of other spaces not included in the other music. It's music that transcends sound."
