It's the start of a new year, so time to poke our noses into lists of last year's best releases. This episode we've chosen four selections from the New York Times best-of, and are generally happy with the results - not that they care. Henry Threadgill – DIRT AND MORE DIRT; Makaya McCraven – UNIVERSAL BEINGS; Walking Distance with Jason Moran - FREEBIRD; Andrew Cyrille – LEBROBA.
