From what Harold Budd says is his final CD. He's not dead; he's just decided to stop composing, I guess. If you're not familiar: Harold is famous for slow and lush music, instrumental landscapes.

Happy Apple -- "Starchild Cranium" -- The Peace Between Our Companies (Sunnyside, 2005)

Lisle Ellis, Marco Eneidi, Peter Valsamis -- "Dreamt Up Blues #3" -- American Roadwork (CIMP, 2004)

Margaret Leng Tan -- "Modern Love Waltz" -- The Art of the Toy Piano (Point, 1997) Margaret Leng Tan -- "Three Landscapes for Peter Wyer" -- The Art of the Toy Piano (Point, 1997)

Tan is an honest-to-goodness classical musician whose specialty is the toy piano. She's featured this weekend during the Asian American Film Festival, as she's the subject of a documentary, "Sorceress of the New Piano."

Lou Grassi Quartet -- "Dancing Shadows" -- Avanti Galoppi (CIMP, 2004)

Thollem/Rivera -- "I'm No Different From You Now" -- I'll Meet You Halfway Out in the Middle of It All (self-released, 2004)

Songs, but not of a typical jazz sort. Thollem McDonas plays crazy (but accurate) piano licks and throws out introspective rants, sometimes verging into political territory but mostly sticking to the personal. Kind of a crazed singer-songwriter type. He's joined here by Rick Rivera (I think it's "Rick"... will have to look that up) on drums.
