Best jazz either purchased or released in 2001


As the year ends, I was reviewing the jazz CDs and LPs I've acquired this year and deciding on my favorites. I realized that I could widely expand this list by asking other Audiogoners to contribute their listings too! What is (are) the best recordings you've bought this year? They can be old recordings you just discovered this year or recordings released in '01. For myself, for starters, Bill Frisell's Blues Dream; Shelley Manne at the Manne Hole vols. 1-5; and Paul Desmond, Best of, bought used at a used CD shop. Thanks for any and all contributions, and Happy New Year!

Hands down: Charles Lloyd's "The Water is Wide" (2000). An excellent recording with Brad Meldhau on piano and the late Billy Higgins on drums. I believe it was a Stereophile Recording of the month and I expect it to age well. Happy New Year!
Ditto on Charles Lloyd's "The Water is Wide" ..probably one of the best recordings of the past few months. I understand he has a new recording out ...will definitly pick it up
Miles Davis "In A Silent Way Sessions" - it's even available on vinyl from mosaic (but be prepared for tape hiss from the masters..)
Try Bill Cunliffe- Bill Plays Bud on the Naxos Jazz label #86024-2, Canadian Pressing, very musical and dynamic.
