Best CDs of 2005
February 3, 2006 — 12:23 am

I haven’t posted any best-of lists since early 2004, with 25 movies and 25 CDs from 2003 to praise. One of these days I’ll have to go back and figure out what I liked best from 2004, but for now I may as well get started on 2005. So, with no further ado, here are my favorite CDs of 2005:

  1. Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane — At Carnegie Hall
  2. Electric Masada — At the Mountains of Madness
  3. John Coltrane — One Down, One Up: Live at the Half Note

  5. Sweeter Than the Day — Live at the Rendezvous, December 2004
  6. Adrian Belew — Side One/Side Two
