Van Gogh City or Country?

Actually, as a sax player I'm happy to see Coletrane on that list as well :)

Theloneous Monk is the best.

Live albums are definitely an important part of the collection. This year alone, three really great ones were released. The Gossip - Live at Liverpool The Fiery Furnaces - Remember The National - The Virginia EP
