Source
Concord Jazz
This one's the bomb. The whole damn trip. Just catching up to it but sooner is better than never and can't stop playing it now.

Pursuance: The Coltranes
Ropeadope Records
This following Source should give you more than a good idea where the future of jazz lays.

Data Lords
ArtistShare
Though her career is far from over, this is by far her most challenging and rewarding achievement thus far.

8 Kindred Spirits
ECM Records
Truly amazing what some folks envision and accomplish as they get older.

Archives Vol. 1: The Early Years (1963-1967)
Rhino Records
Five discs of genius from beginning to end.

Time OutTakes
Brubeck Editions
Lots of if this had been that and that this and isn't it funny how history is written on a whim?

Congratulations To You
Screwgun Records
Tim Berne, David Torn and Ches Smith tearing it all apart because it needs to be.

The Fantastic Mrs. 10
Intakt Records
Modern mayhem Mach 10.

@Bremen '64 & '75
Sunnyside Records
There was no music or stage that could hold all of Mingus's fury and frenetic creativity. Even in '75 ALS couldn't hold him down.

Rollins In Holland
Resonance Records
Rollins bares all his disillusionment with the record industry in one three day swoop.

Little Big II: Dreams of A Mechanical Man
Ropeadope
Despite the underlying news of the day, Parks is in a heightened state of melodic contentment and assurance throughout the whole.

Supersense
Northern Spy
Top grade experimental avant-garde and then some.

Racing Butterflies
Brooklyn Jazz Underground
Iverson's deft and nervy, new swing bop/pop never disappoints.

Budapest Concert
ECM
A one night stand of long lasting beauty.

Share The Wealth
Blue Note Records
Stimulus check or no stimulus check, you owe yourself this one. Anyone with an ear for this amazing form of spontaneous combustion does.

The reMission
Sunnyside Records
Almost forgot this one. Don't you.
