Europe leading free jazz and improvisational music site's Year's Album Top:

The Top 10

This year's top album of the year was a tough one. When all the votes were tallied, we were at tie for the top place, only after an unprecedented run off vote, we present the top album of 2015:

Rodrigo Amado, Joe McPhee, Kent Kessler, Chris Corsano – This Is Our Language (Not Two Records)

As Peter Gough stated in his http://www.freejazzblog.org/2015/11/rodrigo-amado-this-is-our-language.html" rel="nofollow - review :

This Is Our Language is a natural extension of the similarly titled This Is Our Music by the Ornette Coleman Quartet (Atlantic, 1961). Amado’s group enjoys the same clairvoyant chemistry as Coleman’s did, and are no less equipped to deliver their message. Amado et al. summarize and expound upon the fifty-odd years of achievements in free jazz that have passed since Coleman’s opus.

From all of us here at the Free Jazz blog, thank you Rodrigo, et al., for the wonderful music - we expect more in the coming year!
Stephen Haynes – Pomegranate (New Atlantis)

This was a very very close second place, it was almost another tie. Stef, in his http://www.freejazzblog.org/2015/10/stephen-haynes-pomegranate-new-atlantis.html" rel="nofollow - review , wrote: When Haynes does release music, it is of the best possible kind : high quality, strong musical vision and always in the company of great musicians.
