    A sampling of below-the-radar jazz albums from the past decade. This is not a best-of list of the 2010s by any means, and some of the heavy hitters you might know from /r/jazz or Pitchfork are not here (sorry, no Kamasi Washington or Snarky Puppy). Instead it's a bunch of diverse, high quality jazz music that mostly fell through the cracks.

    Playlist:
    Donny McCaslin - Shake Loose
    Dave Zinno Unisphere - The Opener
    Charles Pillow Large Ensemble - Spanish Key
    Aaron Parks - Digital Society
    Brandee Younger - Blue Nile
    Orlando Le Fleming & Romantic Funk - Focustrate
    John Escreet - Learn To Live
    Jessica Jones Quartet - For The Cats On The Continent
    Ben Goldberg - Bongoloid Lens
    Itamar Borochov - Samsara
    Stephane Wrembel - Dinah
    Victor Gould - Three Souls
    Zhenya Strigalev - Little Struggle
    Greg Murphy - Finer Things
    George Coleman - The Shadow Of Your Smile

    Excellent as always, boredop. I particularly enjoyed John Escreet - Learn To Live though. It was super retro-futuristic/experimental sounding, and I dig it! p.s. YouTube version for those...
