C. Michael Bailey's Best Releases of 2010

by C. Michael Bailey
January 1, 2011

My approach to selecting what I consider the best recordings of the year has changed every year. In 2010, I am citing those discs to which I gave 5 out of 5 stars. About midway through the year, I restricted myself to largely vocal jazz releases, explaining the abundance of such recordings on the list.
