The following list represents my personal favorites of those CDs I reviewed this year. I am convinced that we live in a great age for jazz/creative music. You can only ever listen to a very small percentage of what's out there, but it's still a privilege to able to access this much terrific music.

Francesco Turrisi Songs of Experience (Taquin Records)	Marius Neset Birds (Edition Records)	Blood, Sweat, Drum + Bass On The Road To Damascus (Blood Sweat Media)
Chris Potter Sirens (ECM Records)	Christy Doran's New Bag Mesmerized (Double Moon Records) )	Bill Frisell Big Sur (Okeh)
Asaf Sirkis Shepherd's Stories (Stonebird Productions)	Stefano Bollani and Hamilton de Holanda O Que Sera (ECM Records)	David Redmond Roots (Fresh Sound New Talent)
