Art Ensemble of Chicago - Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City
Live album recorded shortly after the band's long-term bassist died. Their new bassist is really good though. The album is surprisingly straight-forward for the band, although there are still meandering free jazz sections scattered throughout.

Michel Legrand - I Love Paris
Just when you thought this blog was too Francophilic. This album is a collection of orchestrated songs (accordions and violins everywhere (Miles Davis is also part of the orchestra)) that are meant to reflect all the cool stuff about Paris. The songs are designed around each other so the album actually works way better as a whole than if you just listened to individual songs. This also might be my favorite Legrand album.
