papsrus Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Well, I'm pretty sure I didn't pick up 5 new releases this year, let alone 10. But of those I did snag, I'd go: Matana Roberts -- "Coin Coin" Allen Lowe -- "Blues & The Empirical Truth" Roscoe Mitchell -- "Before There Was Sound" ... and that's about it. So, top 3. The Miles bootleg release wasn't on my radar, but the enthusiasm here for it has me interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Thanks for remembering to start this thread, LWayne! My Top Ten for 2011 are (in rough chronological order): Kenny Werner - Balloons Art Pepper - Blues for the Fisherman Lee Konitz - Live at Birdland Randy Brecker - The Jazz Ballad Song Book Deep Blue Organ Trio - Wonderful! Chick Corea and Stefano Bollani - Orvieto Rahsaan Barber - Everyday Magic Michael Pedicin - Ballads...searching for peace James Carter - At the Crossroads Miles Davis - Bitches Brew Live I spent the month of January listening to my 2011 albums, and a few items seemed much better to me than I remembered. If I had to delete something, I might delete the Kenny Werner, the DBOT and the Corea/Bollani from the list, and replace them with... TK Blue - Latinbird Alex Pinto Quartet - Inner State New Tricks - Alternate Side Armen Donelian - Leapfrog Edited February 3, 2012 by GA Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
