Donny McCaslin's 2011 album Perpetual Motion was listed as one of the top albums of the year by the Boston Globe. Congrats to Donny and all the musicians that made that record such a spectacular listen. And thanks to the Boston Globe for the nod.

As we sift through our epically full inboxes and move further and further away from vacation daze, we can't help but get a little nostalgic for 2011—even as it's just passed. There was a new website, a new music series, new artists, new albums... it seems everything was NEW last year. So before we can move on to all the going-on's we have scheduled this calendar year, a quick recap of some of the music we released in 2011 is necessary for us in this crazy hit-it-and-forget-it internet world we've all grown accustomed to.

Subscribers can expect a high-res download of this and some other choice cuts.
