* Steuart Liebig and The Mentones -- "Mojave Boxcar" -- Locustland (pfMentum, 2004)

* Charles Lloyd/Billy Higgins -- "My Lord, My Lord" -- Which Way Is East (ECM, 2004)

Great 2-CD set of Lloyd and Higgins just hanging out. Many tracks have them playing sax and drums, respectively, but they also mess around on various other instruments. A few tracks have Higgins on acoustic guitar, singing pretty bossa nova songs. Very nice stuff and a great tribute to Higgins. This particular track has an African flavor, with Lloyd on Tibetan oboe and Higgins doing some singing while playing a Syrian "one-string".

* Dave Rempis Quartet -- "Out of Season, Part 2" -- Out of Season (482 Music, 2004)

* Django Reinhardt -- "Improvisation 47 (Improvisation No. 5)" -- V/A: The Rough Guide to Gypsy Swing (Rough Guide, 2004)

* Jean Derome -- "Verone" -- 10 Compositions (Ambiances Magnetiques, 2003)

* El-P -- "When the Moon Was Blue" -- High Water (Thirsty Ear, 2004)

A melancholy, melodic jazz session produced by El-P and featuring William Parker, Matthew Shipp, and other NYC avant-jazz types. This particular track is particularly emotional because it samples El-P's father, a jazz singer who performed under the name Harry Keys.

* Craig Taborn -- "Bodies at Rest and in Motion" -- Junhk Magic (Thirsty Ear, 2004)

* Cooper-Moore and Assif Tsahar -- "Back Porch Chill" -- America )(Hopscotch, 2003)
