Weise, Thursday ASA DJ and Jazz host. "I have difficulty with the concept of 'favorite' albums of 2002. I am familar with hundreds of new releases from this year, but only intimate with dozens. I'm sure I'll forget a few great CDs. So I'll skip the idea of favorite and just say that I have thoroughly enjoyed each of the following CDs; in no particular order." |
