NP:

Charlie Haden & Kenny Barron - Night and the City (Verve)

[alankin]

Thomas Heberer's Lip Lab – Lex Luna (JazzHausMusik)
— Thomas Heberer: trumpet; Carl Ludwig Huebsch: tuba; Christian Thomé: drums

My wife loved this one.  Great playing, love the rhythm on the tuba.

[Buddha the Magnificent]

Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba - I Speak Fula (Out Here Records, 2009).  Bassekou plays the ngoni, a traditional “spike lute” ancestor of the banjo, sharing its taut-skinned drum body, percussive attack, and varied picking techniques. Ngoni Ba is the first group built around not one but four ngoni‘s.  Got to see these guys at Savannah Music Festival probably about the time this album came out; they were on a double bill with Bill Frisell.

Now onto this wonderful SHM-CD.
