Obviously a great list but I don’t think anything in your top 50 is in my top ten (the Coltrane is ineligible by the rules I’m using). Honestly, there are so many records that got 5 stars on Free Jazz Collective Blog that I haven’t heard then add a bias to things I stumbled on Vs things recommended I don’t know. I do know everything on my top ten is hella unassailable. I’m also wearing jazz tinted goggles this year. But very justifiably. I’d say my top six are all gonna be jazz records.
