Michael Wittmann's Record Reviews Quick explanation: as a DJ and world music librarian at WMUC-FM, College Park, 88.1 Mhz, I get to listen to a lot of music. This page includes brief comments about the albums that I enjoy, or have played on my radio show, or have reviewed for the radio station. If you have any comments or recommendations on music to listen to, pass on the info (my email is at the bottom of the page....). The full list of music that forms a large part of the WMUC College Park World Music section can be found at this location. Here is the WMUC library arranged according to date on which the music was added. It's a big file, sorry bout that... The non-station CDs that were reviewed below will eventually come to live in another database, my home database... Until then, read whichever pages you want... Thank you to all those people who have written to say you enjoy these pages!! Your interest is greatly appreciated, and the comments you have made have helped me out a lot. Special thanks to Jim for the formatting tricks for readability on high-resolution monitors. No matter what you listen to, OPEN EARS:OPEN MIND. It's just another type of jazz buddhism...
