Grabbed these on cd:
Kenny Barron and Regina Carter - Freefall
Got this mainly cause I enjoy Kenny Barron immensely, but Carter is excellent on violin here as well. Piano + violin can sound so haunting on here at times, but also quite exciting in others. Very cool all around.
Emir Kusturica and the No Smoking Orchestra - Unza Unza Time
Had to pick this up after seeing it mentioned in a couple different spots on MB, and then hearing a song by them on the Feb comp. Extremely fun and also noisy, and just loaded with bright brass sounds. This album just f*cking rocks.
Chansons Et Musiques Des Films Noirs
Actually came across this by accident, but it was cheap and I liked the cover so I snagged it. Some slow, moody theme songs like you'd expect, but also some tunes that are more upbeat that sound like Sinatra would maybe sing if he was french. Not too bad.
