Your Top Ten of 2009

[papsrus]

I haven't heard or liked enough 2009 releases to make a top ten list. The one thing I would mention is a Denmon Maroney Quintet album called "Udentity" (CleanFeed). For my taste in music, this is one of the best things I have heard in years.

Just checked that out. Sounds great. Thanks for pointing it out.

Oh, and for historical reissues, definitively the Getz/Barron "People Time" box!

Gee, am I the only one of the non-review-writing people here that has hardly any 2009 release in his collection at this point?

To me, discs from 2007 and 2008 are still brand-spakin'-new, I just can't keep up!

I am in agreement with you there.

Their ears are very different from mine.

Mine too... It's interesting that only four out of their 100 would be on my list if I compiled another one.
