My five favorites from 2003 (in no particular order):
1) Bill Frisell - "The Intercontinentals"
2) Pat Metheny - "One Quiet Night"
3) Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - "Little Worlds" (3 discs)
4) Daniel Lanois - "Shine" (my "reference" disc - incredible sound)
5) Steely Dan - "Everything Must Go"
It was tough to pare it down to just five, so I put DVDs in a separate list:
1) Peter Gabriel - "Growing Up Live" (much better than "Up")
2) Pat Metheny - "Speaking of Now Live"
