"Best of Jazz" 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.

Get the Miles if you have the bucks.

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
