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!

Top five for 2001 in no particular order:
Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown, Emarcy Re-issue
Ken Vandermark: Acoustic Machine, Atavistic
Dave Holland: Not for Nothin', ECM
John Zorn: The Big Gundown (Reissue). Tzadik
Peter Brotzmann: Die Like a Dog Quartet "From Valley to Valley", Emerite.

Not your typical "audiophile" list, now is it?
