I can’t count apparently haha. I’d add Binker and Moses - Journey To The Mountain of Forever.

Ordered! This was supposed to be a RSD exclusive. @Selaws @Captainfog @Mr Moore @Poly-Rythmo you guys might be interested in this.

Do you know if this will be available from the usual stores as well?
I'd prefer to save on shipping...

No idea but shipping, at least to France, was surprisingly fair.

I loved that new Shabaka, and Joel Ross's was my favorite jazz album of 2020. Christian Scott's output is very diverse, since he is constantly looking for new places to take his music, but I feel like Stretch Music is his most important statement, and probably the most enjoyable too.5 records from active musicians that I should order? Times are hard -- let me know five you love that I should order.
Some challenging notes (just to make it interesting)
1. Makaya Mccravem:. I find some of his short edits less complete sounding and wish he would build out the ideas more fully
2. Shabaka Hutchings:. I got incredibly excited by My Queen is a Reptile -- and in the end I felt like it was a brilliant idea that was repeated and not explored enough. I spin side A some.... The most recent ancestors album (digital listen) I liked and love the session for the first 30+ minutes -- but by ~"side three" I wanted them to bridge a new structure as a unit. If I compare to some of the classics of spiritual jazz it's an awesome modern statement, but falls short of the ecstacy of the Pharoah Sanders Jewels of Thought, etc. This is unfair because they were doing more in less time (and, um, classic) -- and the session felt tighter
3. GoGo Penguin, EST are always fun listens -- and hey, if that's your five, I'll buy them! -- but something else?
4. I've really liked my first times with Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah
5. Ambrose Akinmusire does some great things
6. Cecile McLorlorn Slavant is grand
6. Joel Ross, Kingmaker -- good -- but much of the blue note review sets were better (unfair I know)
I'm shooting for alive, earlier career, can't gig, would benefit from someone buying records,.and while I "want" Hutchings to be doing a little more, a little less circular, a little more surprise -- if the vote is but those, I'm in.
Give me five you love from folks that should sell records

It was down to 6 copies left and I ended up grabbing one. It was $35 shipped to US.

Arrrrgh, what to do.
They can't just press 25 in total, can they?

The FOMO got to me haha. I think it might be sold out now anyway unless they add more. If it was meant to be a RSD item, then I'm guessing it will still be available then. Maybe they just held onto some copies themselves and sold them.

Nice list
My five (exc Shabaka Hutchings or Makaya McCraven) would be;
Rosie Turton - Rosie's 5ive (and as a footnote if you like this check out Nerija's albums)
Maisha - There is a Place - echoing all the good things that have already been said
Ryo Fukui - Letter From Slowboat - gorgeous set of tracks all played in one take and with an incredible back story.
Matthew Halsall - Colour Yes ( a personal favourite because I get the duel benefit of loving the tracks and its the main album my baby likes to fall asleep to
)Alfa Mist - take your pick - Antiphon / Structuralism / One My Ones (short piano solo EP)
a couple of honourable mentions....

A couple albums I’ve loved that haven’t gotten a lot of attention around here from what I’ve seen.

I really liked Scenery, but haven't got Letter from showboat, I seem to remember it's scheduled for a re-issue at some point this year.

I think all of these have been given some love on here. The Makaya McCraven that I keep going back to, when out and about if not at home, is the Chicago X London mixtape.
All of these sound good, and have earned multiple spins:
Nat Birchall - Live in Larissa
Muriel Grossman - Golden Rule
Sarathy Korwar - My East is your Wets
Sokratis Votskos Quarter - Sketching the Unknown
Greg Foat - The Dreaming Jewels
