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
