>>30614377gonna check this out
>>30614377Anything from ECM and especially Keith Jarrett is too dainty and dreamy for me. I can't help but think "I could be listening to Chopin instead".I don't have a fixed AOTY so I'll just post some stuff from this year.
Wadada Leo Smith - Ten Freedom SummersI think it might be my favorite album of the year in general too though it has some stiff competition.
>>30614505Wadada Leo Smith, Charles Gayle and Davis S. Ware (RIP) all released new albums this year, if you want something a bit rawer.
>>30614556WLS is pretty nice, but Charles Gayle and DSW felt like something I've heard a hundred times before, sadly.
Some put an extra section under ">implying this is daring" with Peter Brotzmann.

>>30614377I love Jarrett, thanks for alerting me of this.>>30614556>Ten Freedom Summershot damn this looks interesting, thanks for telling me about this.The Bad Plus - Made Possible was something that I enjoyed.I also enjoyed Charles Gayle - Streets.Marcus Miller - Renaissance was fun.John Zorn - Rimbaud is definitely a contender.I really enjoyed Nobuki Takamen - Three Wishes (Thanks, Lysergyk).I also have a ton of other ones I haven't checked out yet.
