Some new soul, folky-singer-songwriter, jazz, and americana today. River - Leon Bridges Coming on the Hudson - Laurent de Wilde I usually don't like other people doing Monk tunes (despite many of them being standards), but I like what de Wilde does with them. River - Patty Griffin Of Two Rivers (Part 2) - Allison Miller Come for the title, stay for the bass and drum groove, and the trumpet! Shenandoah (for Johnny Smith) - Bill Frisell Tidal playlist #LetTheRiversFlow #ThursdayFiveList
