I’ve got this in-hand but haven’t opened it yet. I can check for you later tonight if you want to hold off for confirmation. That was a pretty lazy Discogs listing dupe off the CD release.

Here’s another recent album that was at least recorded in analog — unsure of the mixing/mastering chain. Awesome record if you’re into meditative jazz. https://www.discogs.com/BremerMcCoy-Utopia/release/14279216

Definitely check out Zhao’s The Rider if you haven’t. Nomadland is great but I liked The Rider even more.

Haha -- don't buy 'em all. They're all recommended and worth checking out, but the first four and Heshoo Beshoo Group are 🔥🔥🔥.

Acoustic Sounds' Study In Brown showed up today and, WOW, sounds so good. Might be my favorite of the Verve series so far!

I had something like this happen to me once as well. My brother kindly gifted me Jimi Hendrix's Rainbow Bridge a couple of years ago for Christmas. The sticker on the cardboard synced up but inside was a black metal album by a band whose name I've forgotten that took me forever to figure out...

Seconded on both these albums. Also great prices for Disq - Collector, and Jimmy Giuffre - New York Concerts (a 2020 RSD jazz title) -- both albums I like a lot. https://www.roughtrade.com/us/disq/collector/lp-plus-2 https://www.roughtrade.com/us/jimmy-giuffre/3-and-4-new-york-concerts

I don’t have them all, but my top five — so far — are: Andrew Hill - Black Fire Lee Morgan - Cornbread Sam Rivers - Contours Jackie McLean - It’s Time! Chick Corea - Now He Sings, Now He Sobs

Wow, it’s still $40-shipped! Good album but no way at that price.

To me it feels more Afrobeat than jazz. I understand the time signature changes in We Are Sent Here By History are more complex than traditional Afrobeat, and my approach is probably biased through an American lens. Not here to convince anyone that it's not jazz -- it's obviously there (and it's...

Not sure if these are the same clips at Juno that @Mr Moore shared but here’s the label’s SoundCloud page: https://m.soundcloud.com/dorbon The vinyl is tough to track down right now. I had it on order in late December but it was cancelled. Not clear if it was sold out or if the release is just...

Heldon - Un Rêve Sans Conséquence Spéciale Heldon - Heldon.6. Interface Heldon is a French electronic/guitar space-rock band that released seven albums from 1974-1979. I'm slowly trying to acquire all seven albums -- this takes me to four. Guitarist Richard Pinhas is a pretty interesting...

Ah yes, that Quin Kirchner album is really great — that should have made my list as well! Maybe I was being too strict but I didn’t consider Keleketla! or Shabaka as jazz. Loved both as well. @NoFunAtAll, @jdr2187, @Poly-Rythmo Thanks for sharing your lists!

If anyone is willing to share a list of favorite jazz releases from 2020, I would love to browse them. Sticking to new releases -- reissued releases would be too overwhelming given the avalanche of awesome jazz pressed in 2020 -- here are my favorite 15: Krononaut - Krononaut Sam Gendel -...

20 points each to: Chubby and the Gang - Speed Kills Krononaut - Krononaut Deftones - Ohms Sam Gendel - Satin Doll Hum - Inlet My full list is posted on Best Music of 2020.

To clarify, I can find a lot of joy in repetitive loops. It would be a challenge to enjoy ambient music otherwise. I enjoy pulling a random Basinski album out every once in a while when the mood is right. But I can't get excited about 20 years of 30 albums of revisiting the same sounds and...
