Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny > Two For The Road
Composed by Henry Mancini

Though Pat’s made his debt to Ornette clear in dozens of ways, and often collaborated with Charlie, their audiences have never exactly matched. But, as unsympathetic as I am to Pat’s day-to-day stuff, I always found those fraternizations wonderful. This one is no exception.

And, being a Mancini fan to boot, I love how his melodies bring out the lyrical side of Charlie, the sounds that completely separate him from his fellow bassists.

Terry Scott Taylor> Klaymen Shuffle

The Neverhood soundtrack combines some of my favorite, paradoxical, elements: cartoon music with avant-garde jazz (with a good dose of old timey stuff). A rare example of truly contemporary cartoon music.
