Chicago’s version of this Diane Warren song comes off as a paint-by-numbers effort included to appease a record company chasin’ a hit.

While some covers work better than others, ‘Jem Records Celebrates John Lennon’ provides a fun tribute that includes less-obvious updates of deeper cuts.

Progressive music has moved in the direction suggested long ago by ‘Junk Magic’ but as Craig Taborn revisits these ideas, it’s clear they remain unique in an increasingly crowded field.

Unlike many recordings back then, ‘Sur la mer’ doesn’t go overboard on smothering the Moody Blues’ natural talents in a blanket of gadgetry.

‘Hit Me: The Best of Ian Dury’ is pure nostalgia, but curated in such a way that you get a real insight into his musical persona.

Ron Miles’ music is always both relaxed and cerebral, a rare combination of qualities that few can pull off so convincingly. But once again with ‘Rainbow Sign’ he does, and with the ample help of some very special friends.

“In a World of Our Own” is a pleasing middle-of-the-road rock Yes song which needs a few more progressive elements to be memorable.

Dominated by a stirring dance groove, Stephanie Angelini and Vince Tomas’ transatlantic “Midnight Blue” features all the markings of a club hit.

Stumbling into Chicago’s Robert Lamm-sung “One From the Heart” was like finding a relic from an ancient civilization.

Daniel Carter, Patrick Holmes, Matthew Putman, Hilliard Greene and Federico Ughi create improvisational music of uncommon elegance and shared vision.
