This week's best-selling CDs
1:00 PM. Jazz at Lincoln Center

Thirteen programmes from this Peabody Award winning series
Hosts Wendell Pierce and Wynton Marsalis offer backgrounds, interviews and insights to accompany spirited performances from jazz greats
(8) Essentially Ellington
For 15 years, the Jazz at Lincoln Center's "Essentially Ellington" Competition has put the top high school jazz to the test, and there's no sign of it letting it up. For fifteen hardworking bands from across the country, months of practice add up to exhilarating minutes on the stage. We'll have the thrill of discovering brand new talents, hear Ellington from a fresh perspective and catch up on what the earlier winners have been doing to keep jazz alive (Murray Street Productions)
2:00 PM. Global Sounds

Indigenous music from around the world
Ottoman instrumental music from the 16th and 17th centuries
In 1710, the Moldavian-born scholar, philosopher and musician Dimitrie Cantemir published The Book of the Science of Music, a work comprising 355 compositions of 16th and 17th century Ottoman instrumental music. Almost 300 years later, Cantemir's collection (which includes some of his own pieces) has provided the inspiration for Jordi Savall's project Istanbul. In his project, Savall performs music from the collection, interspersed with music from the Armenian and Sephardic traditions. Savall's regular ensemble, Hesperion XXI, is supplemented by guest musicians from Turkey, Armenia, Israel, Morocco and Greece (Alia Vox AVSA 9870)
