I am familiar with smaller half of the list, but can only agree with from first look such an unorthodox top winner - Charles Lloyd/Lucinda Williams  album is hardly a jazz at all, but it is that fantastic crossover of Americana/roots and jazz that attracts far not only jazz lovers. Once started, you will like to spin it again and again.


Sons Of Kemet  album on Impulse! is successful example of modern London world fusion, fresh angry and young again.

Cecil McLorin Savant  release is vocal jazz sounding as if fifties came to new Millennium with their non-pretending feelings; music from pre-show business era.
