Your Top Five for 2003

I've only got the top three, but they are great to listen to (especially when I'm home alone and I can turn it up)!

#1 Vocal Jazz: Dianne Reeves "A little Moonlight"
#2 Rock: Steely Dan "Everything Must Go"
#3 Instrumental: Windham Hill "Sounds of Wood & Steel 3"

Awesome stuff.

Mahalo to everyone for sharing their picks!

Aloha

Roscoe Mitchell - "Snurdy McGurdy and Her Dancing Shoes" (Nessa)
Faruq Z. Bey w/ Northwoods Improvisers - "Ashirai Pattern" (entropy stereo records)
Griot Galaxy - "Live at the D. I. A. 1983" (entropy stereo records)
Dennis Gonzalez New Southern Quintet - "Old Time Revival" (entropy stereo records)
William Parker Violin Trio - "Scrapbook" (Thirsty Ear)

I'm sure a year from now my list will be totally revised, but for the moment...

Radiohead: Hail to the Thief
Broken Social Scene: You Forgot it in People
Jeff Buckley: Live at Sine (Deluxe)
Yo La Tengo: Summer Sun
!!!: Me and Giuliani Down By the School Yard

Not a very strong year in my opinion but I still haven't heard a lot of stuff that's supposed to be good (Califone, Unicorns, The Rapture, Strokes, etc.)

However, the reissue of Marquee Moon made me aware of a classic that had up to that point gone unnoticed.

Audioslave - Audioslave
Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step
Ben Harper - Diamonds on the Inside
Coldplay - Rush of blood to the head
Chilipeppers - by the way
