I absolutely love these 2 albums, both recorded at the same concert featuring Bob Stewart's tuba, Abdul Wadud's cello, and trumpeter Ahmed Abdullah of the Sun Ra Arkestra.

Anthony Davis, James Newton, Abdul Wadud - Trio 2 (1989)
This is obviously a very special recording. James Newton, arguably the greatest Jazz flutist ever, was matched in 1989 with lyrical pianist Anthony Davis and the preeminent cellist Abdul Wadud. Each of the 7 tracks is a journey through composition, experimentation, improvisation, musicianship. Extremely compelling material.

Michael Franks - Tiger in the Rain (FLAC, Bittorrent, Rapishare, Mediafire)
Tiger in the Rain (wikilink) is a 1979 album from the jazz singer Michael Franks. I present it here because of the enormous amount of great musicians on the record, including Kenny Barron and Ron Carter. It's good stuff, even for those not into "vocal jazz".
