Remember that there is no ranking system here, and if you dont see your favorite jazz album yet, it doesnt mean it wont show up.
Every week I will offer up twenty more, in no particular order and with no ranking system or common theme (other than jazz of course).
Hopefully these lists will inspire you to seek some of these albums out that perhaps you havent heard before, or revisit an old favorite. And as always, we want your thoughts on any or all of these albums. Either way, lets get started with this week, and in no particular order, albums 561 through 580.
