That's a good list, but if it were me, I'd put Bob Bowman's new CD right at the top - check it out.
ReplyDeleteNice to see Flying Lotus at the top of your list. Not my favorite of the year, but hats off to you and him for putting a needle in the arm of the current day jazz scene. (And aren't you an old dude? - ha!)
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping this blog going for so many years. I've seen so many jazz web sites, venues, and musicians come & go over time, but The Plastic Sax blog has been consistent for years. Hope you know there's people out here checking it out. Your calendar is very helpful. Keep Jazz Alive!!!
