My favorites include Artemis In Real Time, Joshua Redman where are we, Ambrose Akinmusire Owl Song, Christian McBride and New Jawn Prime, and I’d also include the two releases by Oscar Peterson (Con Alma and Live at the Tivoli Gardens) and Bill Evans’ Tales). Last but not least, Generation S by Peter Martin, not just because I own the cover painting, but it doesn’t hurt.
Edit: I knew I’d forget some albums. There was also Dynamic Maximum Tension by Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society and Phoenix by Lakecia Benjamin. I was reminded of both by Downbeat’s article about the Grammy nominations. I haven’t heard most of the rest of the nominations but they are on my list to check out.
