Orlando Cachaito Lopez - Cachaito
With funk-o-masters like Pee Wee Ellis and Hugh Masekela sit in as guest performers, this album plays like a funk album as much as it is a Cuban album.

周杰倫- Jay Album
主打歌「可愛女人」由徐若瑄填詞、周杰倫譜曲、編曲,表現著一股全新的R&B味道,簡單的歌詞卻散發出無限的想像空間。

James Leary- James II
The Freudian adventure of obtaining this CD plus the wonderful sound of Leary's bass and Eddie Harris's free sax playing makes the listening experience a blast. Leary plays with a dedicate heart. details>>

   

Charlie Haden- Silence
The historical meeting of jazz's two prodigal sons is underwhelming yet powerful. Haden brings out the best and most upbeat of Chet Baker, while close to his death. details>>

   

BossaCucaNova, Roberto Menescal- Brasilidade
Brazil's most prolific living legend Roberto Menescal unites with his son. The quartet produces the most upbeat sounds and coolest rhythms that will keep you feet tapping throughout the hot summer.

Steely Dan- Two Against Nature
This CD is a sample and taste of the classic Steely Dan: complex rhythms and harmonic structures, sophisticated phrasing, funky beats and well thought out musical ideas.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
譚盾的旋律平易近人,強調音樂個性,少荷里活匠氣,配合電影氣氛同時,不會淪為附庸。中西樂的大融和,很貪心,但效果竟然簡單到題,未有倒瀉籮蟹。

Patricia Barber- Nightclub
Barber's piano playing is just expressive as her throaty voice. Demonstrated ostentatiously in a piano solo in "Bye Bye Blackbird," hers is the most intriguing version of the song I have heard since the Miles Davis era. details>>

   

St. Germain- Tourist
The "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" of jazz albums in 2000.
Next time you throw a party at your house, forget techno and play this CD, you will definitely have pretty girls dancing on your lap, I promise! details>>

   

Robert Walter's 20th Congress- Money Shot
Wow, what a treat! Stereophile Magazine calls Money Shot "Recording of the Month." We, 2thumbsupdisc.com, call it "Recording of the Year." details>>

   

Stevie Ray Vaughan- SRV Box Set
Though not every SRV hit is included, the set is a combination of arguably his best studio work and some of his smashing unreleased live performances, which makes this boxset all the more valuable. details>>

   

Ruben Gonzalez-Chanchullo
A great album to remember and celebrate the talents of one of the best pianists in the last century.
details>>

   

Willie Nelson- Milk Cow Blues
It's about time our country legend delivers us the blues.
Those who buy it for Willie will be delighted as he proceeds to show the youngsters (and all of us) what soul, and phrasing, and the blues are all about. details>>

   
Van Morrison & Linda Gail Lewis- You Win Again
Teamming with Jerry Lee Lewis's younger sister Linda, Van gives us anther effort of spontaneity, paying tribute to the western musicians we used to love: Hank Williams, Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker and Jerry Lee Lewis. Van's composition "No way Pedro" is the highlight.
   

Paul Simon- You're The One
Paul Simon's first on-point album since his concert in Central Park, and he comes back in top form. "Old" is his most inspired single since "The Boy in The Bubble" and a great tribute to the late great Buddy Holly.

   
Mark Knopfler- Sailing to Philadelphia
Only Knopfler's second album after his departure with Dire Straits, but again, he hasn't missed the mark. This is one of those albums you listen for the poetry and artistry. Sailing will be one of the best albums of 2000, undoubtedly. details>>
   

Sade- Lovers Rock
Sade's timely return to her calm groove self after a decade of absence. The result is an effort of composure, truth to style and tranquility. Sade is a musician's musician and she is not just making music for money. details>>

   

Various Artists- Almost Famous
This album refutes the erroneous belief that Elton John is not a legitimate rock artist. He is, and you'll see why. His song "Tiny Dancer" made the album and, in fact, the film itself. details>>
