In a few hours, I'll be boarding a plane for Greece.
I'll see you in ten days. In the meantime, here are
are my votes for the AJ poll 1995.

I'm sure I've left out something. I agree with the
people that suggested an "oldies" category; I think
one third of the records I bought this year are old.
...which is what is great about acid jazz.

Jazz On,
Alexees. :)
