Artists to ring out the old and ring in the new

[Milestones]

This is all about preference, but who do you listen to as one year ends and the next begins?

I've found myself listening to Coltrane's recordings (especially Atlantic) today. On New Yea'rs Day I suspect it will be Miles and Monk.

No one in particular, but today a lot of Tortoise and Penguin Cafe Orchestra. 

Tomorrow I may check out The Declaration Of Musical Independence from the Andrew Cyrille Quartet.

The Cyrille sounds interesting, partly because I'm a big Frisell fan.

It's a fantastic outing. Very free floating and plaintive. I actually just found out about it this evening.

I began the year listening to the second Charlie Haden/ Hank Jones duets album.  By this point Jones is playing at less than half strength, but you can tell there is a love of the tunes he's playing and a lot of love between the musicians.  Nothing fancy, but beautiful.
