Life is Just a Bowl of Jerrys

It's December again. Time for those dreaded "Best of" of lists. Alex Ross already has his up so we need to get cracking. Here, then, in no particular order or ranking are the official Sequenza21 Best CDs of 2005, the much coveted "Jerrys." They are official because I picked them. Other S21 bloggers and contributors should feel free to make their own lists and declare them official if they wish. Discerning readers will note that I have avoided the big name record labels who can fend perfectly well for themselves and, since I don't get out much, I have not selected any live performances. That's where you folks come in. Tell me the worthy CDs I overlooked and the live performances you enjoyed most this year.
