Howdy all. October is more than in fully swing now. Students are rushing about to find a costume and the last moments of NorCal sun are slowly disappearing, yet some things do not change as drastically. The charts for Jazz has remained relatively constant. For example, Hiromi still remains on the charts as does Bria Skonberg. New chart topper, and gospel infused songstress Alicia Olatuja adds to the female dominated charts this time around. Novox, a funky electronic mixed album, also is new to the charts and adds an eclectic element to the charts.
